It's officially been A WHOLE YEAR since Covid-19 started sending us all indoors.
Yep, a year.
Malarkey indeed, Mr. President.
Thankfully, there's light at the end of this tunnel! With vaccines rolling out now, we're starting to dust off our passports and dump the sand out of our suitcases from that beach vacation in 2019. Travel opportunities are coming back soon!
In this edition of our monthly newsletter, you can find the same great resources as always plus some new updates. So please, for the love of Pete, put down the Cheetos and read our newsletter!

Study Abroad is now Global Learning!
As the world changes, so must we!
The types of programs that we are able to help you participate in continue to grow, and as it does, our office represents much more than just study abroad. There are domestic opportunities, internships, virtual programs...and more new things to come. Since we want to be inclusive of all the various things that we do, our office will be transitioning from Study Abroad to Global Learning. You may notice these changes as you explore our website or see emails from us, but rest assured that we're still the same bunch of passionate folks working to support you.

Who Am I Abroad (WHOA) is a student series of videos and articles exploring the shifts in perception of the self while abroad or away. The purpose of these stories is to highlight the international and domestic experiences of students and staff in relation to their salient identities.
