Forum Conference
Last week, we attended the Forum on Education Abroad conference in Chicago. It was a very positive and productive week, not to mention a much-needed change of pace to be reconnecting in-person with partners, colleagues, and friends.

If we haven't already, please know we'll be following up on our conference conversations. We also look forward to upcoming virtual meetings with partners who were not in Chicago. You can email Brock Price (bmprice@syr.edu) to setup a virtual meeting.

"My classes abroad were some of the most rewarding work I have done. We got to experience everything we were learning in the classroom directly in the streets. All of the professors were so passionate about teaching us the ins and outs of Spanish life. One of my favorite courses was a Spanish course called De Madrid Al Cielo. We were reading and exploring Spanish literature, history, and society in the classroom, but the professor would include a wide range of places to visit, eat, and enjoy that were directly connected to what we were learning! Another one of my favorite courses was a history course called Arts of Spain, where we would analyze different artworks and architectural designs and then see these practices in art at different museums across the city!"

I was able to more deeply explore France. From city to city, you can feel the differences in the way people interact with one another..."
