Who is Not Studying Abroad? An Examination of Three Institutional Perspective...CIEE
To understand how to expand education abroad opportunities, we need to understand who is not going abroad. Presenters will share what they've done (or are doing) to expand participation with respect to the barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture. Participants will be invited to share best practices on how to change perception and make study abroad – academic study, work, or internships – more accessible. Case studies will include the Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) Haiti Initiative, an innovative student-directed program; Susquehanna University, which made study away a curricular requirement; and Medgar Evers College, the only Predominantly Black College (PBI) in the City University of New York, will explain how a one-person office has increased the numbers of underrepresented students going abroad.

Txt 4 Success: Utilizing personalized text messages to promote college access...Jessica Vodden
WV has launched a new service to help students prepare for and succeed in college — college counseling by text message. The pilot project, funded by the Kresge Foundation, “nudges” students to complete key college tasks, such as completing the FAFSA or connecting with academic advisors. The system also increases students’ access to college-planning help by allowing them to text college counselors. This presentation provides an overview of WV’s model and outline strategies for implementation.

Weaving a Web: Linking Education Abroad with Career ExplorationCIEE
Education abroad can serve as an effective laboratory for developing flexible analytical, collaborative, and communication skills sought by employers. As education abroad professionals, have we made broad-based skill development a key outcome for education abroad? Should career development be an important priority for every student going abroad? What are effective ways to help study abroad students integrate thinking about educational and career development trajectories? This session will start a conversation about collaborations and initiatives that engage this increasingly relevant and educationally rich sector of our work.
Education is a key to success in life, the more you learn the better prospect you will have for your future and that is why it is important if you have the opportunity to study abroad grab it with both hands. In an ideal world every student should have the chance to study abroad, education is what makes a person and is a vital investment when it comes to education.

Logically all trainers know that Role Plays are a perfect way to ensure practice of new skills. But somewhere we do realize that not all of us are comfortable acting parts in front of an audience, sometimes the role plays just seem superficial lacking any direction or we are just rushing through things to finish the role play and cover the agenda.
Speak Up: Encouraging Students to Speak in the ClassroomJulie Hanks
Getting students to speak in class is challenging. Given the opportunity for classroom participation, students may choose not to speak for a host of cultural, social and personal reasons. Having previous experience in Asia, the presenter will discuss these reasons, and provide classroom-tested suggestions on how to get students speaking.

42. Common Myths and Misunderstandings About Education Abroad from Students Costs too much/no funding There’s no financing options or scholarships Will delay graduation Need to speak a foreign language No applicable programs for specific major – especially professional programs (Nursing, STEM fields, Education, Architecture, etc) Credit won’t transfer to degree Nobody to help me on campus Unsupportive faculty – or are they? Lack of opportunities for upper-division students or after undergraduate graduation How will this experience help me – currently or after graduation?
43. Reality Check: Causes of Why More Students Aren’t Going Abroad Can’t afford it – particularly in current economy Don’t know about – or apply for – scholarships Don’t find out in time – lack of campus outreach Nobody ever told them why or the benefits Disjointed campus process: runaround, bureaucracy Don’t know what to do/how to access Restrictive majors and/or academic departments Some faculty may say: “Can’t get a better education anywhere but here” Lack of institutional policies Lack of a dedicated study abroad office or coordinator Lack of support for students’ program Financial/institutional aid portability Public vs. private institutions – differing challenges
44. Explaining the Benefits 2nd best thing a student can do while in school Open to all students – all majors Studying abroad = more employable Life-Changing – no matter how small Millions of $$$ of scholarships available Financial aid may very well be allowed to be used on these programs Credit can transfer back (specific to univ., dept policies) Meet students from around the world – future contacts – gateway to international travel and work possibilities Once-in-lifetime experience – hard-pressed to duplicate for the rest of their lives Strong U.S. dollar abroad (favorable exchange rates in many overseas countries)
