Study Abroad

An overwhelming percentage of entering students list Study Abroad as one of the options they hope to take advantage of during their undergraduate careers. It would be helpful to students if as First-Year Adviser you were able to begin a conversation about study abroad opportunities early in your advising relationship. In order to assist you, the Center for International Education has listed some basic information below that should be helpful as advisees come to you with questions. Please do not hesitate to contact Cindy Irby (cirby@wlu.edu) X8193 or Mark Rush (rushm@wlu.edu) or go to the Center for International Education website for additional information.

Please encourage your advisees to attend the fall study abroad fair.
