What are some of the benefits of studying abroad? Is this something parents and students should start discussing?
Mr. Kenney: It’s never too soon for students and students to start talking about international study. Through the Office of International Studies (OIS), We have over 800 students studying abroad this academic year. The immediate benefits of international education can be academic, such as studying a new field or enhancing your language learning in a new way. Those benefits also can be professional, especially given the number of students we’ve seen participating in international internships. In the long term, though, the most important benefits are personal. Study abroad makes students more confident, more empathetic to other cultures, and more aware of world events. They become more conscious of career options and career goals, more willing to take challenges and, for these reasons, more attractive to employers. In short, study abroad makes students (what the Harvard Business Review calls) ‘culturally intelligent.’ Fresh@News: Which of these programs should current freshmen be thinkin
