Students unsure how to pull it off have the dedicated support of the International Education and Global Engagement (IEGE) Office staff, who help with everything from getting a first-time passport to assistance with scholarship and internship applications, as well as academic and travel advice and language training programs.
"When students embark on global exchanges, they sow seeds of connection, compassion, and mutual respect around the world and in our backyards," said Ximena Ospina, a study abroad and exchange coordinator with IEGE. "Through this, global citizens and transformative leaders are developed."
