I can do it. And I said, like, you can hire me full-time.I'm just really into it.” She landed the internship as a fulltime research assistant without a stipendand could afford doing so since she had received a Gilman scholarship prior to departure.Yet another outcome was a student, MO, who had doubts regarding her chosen field of civilengineering for a career path prior to her year abroad. Instead, she wanted to explore teaching.MO still chose a research internship during which she discovered

Inparticular, students studying in a STEM discipline on the Department of Homeland Security'sofficial STEM Designated Majors list have the added benefit of applying for an additional twoyears of work authorization in addition to their first year, for a total of three years.

increasing numbers and “a clear need andcall for critical global competencies, they remain lacking in college graduates and the workforce[11].” At the same time, study abroad programs are trending shorter. At the writing of this paper,64.9 % of students enroll in study abroad programs shorter than 8 weeks in duration [10].Historically, an entire semester abroad had been the convention for decades. This invites thequestion of whether and how practitioners can develop these requisite global competencies asshorter sojourns abroad undergird the paradigm.The extent to which participants acquire global competency during study abroad continues toelude researchers despite their best efforts. Assessment is a multidimensional challenge,complicated by limited
