Thestudy abroad advisors at the college and university continue to emphasize advantages of taking partin the available options. Testimonials from students who had a global experience show the positiveimpact on their lives and education. Availability of scholarships specifically for study abroad helpsto motivate students to take part in these programs. References1.
