Abroad360° - Virtual Advising & Student Success Platform

Transformative Doesn’t Happen by Chance

The Abroad360° tool is currently being reconceptualized. As a result, we are not currently offering demos of the tool. We invite you to sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page under "Stay Connected" for updates and announcements related to the Abroad360° tool.

Do you ever wish you had more support on why and how a global opportunity is right for you? Are you collecting research and want to cover all your bases to determine if a global program is for you? Did you just return to your home country and want to debrief your experience and leverage it for your career readiness?

Diversity Abroad’s Virtual Advising & Student Success Platform delivers inclusive and targeted resources to support your success throughout the education abroad experience. Abroad360 provides you 24/7 assistance through content that is engaging, interactive and on-demand through a comprehensive suite of resources that includes micro-learning & advising modules, online workshops, and Cultural and Diversity Destination Guides.

SO WHAT IS ABROAD360° REALLY?

Abroad360° Modules

A series of short and engaging microlearning modules that provide diverse and underrepresented students with culturally relevant and identity-specific information to enhance learning and support their success while pursuing education abroad. Modules are complemented by resource pages, quizzes, reflection activities, and online workshops.

Examples of Modules:

Are Global Programs for Me?
Being a Person of Color Abroad
Approaches to Navigating Microaggressions Abroad
Staying Healthy and Safe (Multi Part Series)
Allyship for Diverse Peers Abroad

Online Abroad360° Workshops

Live online workshops that build upon the Abroad360° Modules and engage the Diversity Abroad Community via discussion while connecting the community to experts in the field and one another.

During the Online Workshops, you will be able to:

Review the information presented in Abroad360° Modules with a live group of facilitators and other students
Support the development of the greater student community through the sharing of your experiences abroad
Compare and contrast your experiences abroad to those of students with a variety of identities
Construct an action plan for navigating your global experience in relation to the workshop topic and personal reflection

Abroad360 Frequently Asked Questions

Why Abroad360°?

Each tool within Abroad360° is designed to deliver content that is identity-specific and takes into consideration diverse students’ concerns, such as their wellness, safety and security. Understanding that international education offices and advisors’ capacity and resources at home and host campuses can sometimes be limited, these resources supplement existing services and aid in increasing equitable access and allow students to feel supported no matter the time, place or subject matter.

How will I engage with Diversity Abroad while using Abroad360°?

Students will interact and engage freely on the Abroad360 platform (modules, workshops, and country-specific diversity and inclusion guides). Diversity Abroad will monitor discussion boards, although this is primarily a space for students to engage with one another about the topic. Online workshops will be a live space for students to engage with the Diversity Abroad team members and experts to dig deeper into a module topic. Students are encouraged to contact their study abroad offices to be given institutional/organizational specific support and guidance.

Are these workshops and modules available just to students?

Yes, Abroad360° resources were developed to support the success of all students and young people engaged in global educational programs with a special focus on those from diverse and traditionally marginalized populations.

How long does one module take?

Students should dedicate anywhere from 10-20 minutes to go through one module in depth. The module itself is 5-9 minutes in duration followed by resources, quizzes, and reflection questions.

Can I start a module and come back to it later?
