The two presenters and two students will discuss the philosophy, benefits, and best practices for short term, faculty-led study abroad experiences for students from more rural areas in the country. Many times these students have limited, if any, travel experience and these types of programs are extremely helpful to simply get students thinking in a more global way. In many instances, these programs serve as a "starter set" for future international experiences which may include summer programs, full semester exchanges, and in some cases Fulbright ETA applications.
