Menefee [1] found that students with study abroadexperience have more employability probability and greater organizational, communication, andleadership skills. Including study abroad programs in the curriculum helps students achieveholistic learning by gaining intercultural competence and an inclusive, open, and reflectiveperspective for solving complex global problems.Due to the highly immersive experiential learning nature of the study abroad programs, they alsoprovide transformative learning opportunities to participants. However, the extent and nature oftransformative learning in various experiential learning programs differ among individuals [2][3]. The broader purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the differential impacts of

bulletin titled “Civility: The Key toSuccessful Interactions with Others” defines civility with four key points: • “Civility has to do with courtesy, politeness and good manners. • Civility is complex. The root of the word may help illuminate this. Civility is related to civilization; as such it is both an outgrowth of and a necessary ingredient to being a member of society. • Civility belongs in the realm of ethics. Mutual respect and concern for others is the foundation. The capacity for empathy is an integral element. • Civility is good, i.e. it is desirable, both for the individual and for the society at large.” 9Companies value workplace civility.
