Special Focus Network: Simon Act Initiatives
As legislation moves through the U.S. Congress, universities and colleges across the United States are reviewing their capacity to send students abroad. This network provides resources for campuses who are establishing or expanding their education abroad initiatives – creating an office, developing new programs, seeking to increase the diversity of the students they are sending, looking for ways to send students to new destinations, and preparing staff and faculty to work with these new students and programs.
