Developing Global Leaders, Together. Education Abroad News | August 2019
Dear Colleagues,

The tagline of our newsletter is “Developing Global Leaders, Together.” Education Abroad is a total team effort in which we work together with you to send over 2000 Miami students abroad each year. We want our students to return from their studies abroad as more engaged, compassionate global citizens. When study abroad is combined with the other powerful elements of a Miami education, we expect that our graduates will be well prepared to become effective leaders in our world. This newsletter will provide Miami faculty and staff with deadlines, trends, stories and best practices about Education Abroad that hopefully will inform, elucidate and inspire you in our shared educational endeavors.
