Webinar: Why Is It a Challenge To Be An American Student Overseas Today?

International public opinion polls reveal that American undergraduates today face a world increasingly unfriendly to the United States and suspicious of American values and public policies. It’s not business as usual in study abroad. We have to ask ourselves as international educators whether we’re adequately preparing our students for the new realities of the world. Do we offer our students new perspectives on the world? On globalization? On U.S. foreign policy? What are some of the resources available for developing geopolitical awareness today?
