Study Abroad Champions
Here at the Office of Study Abroad, we want every single University of Arkansas student to know that study abroad is an option for them and that we are here to support them through every step of the process: from program selection to pre-departure and beyond.
Through this new initiative, Study Abroad Champions, we seek for more conversations about study abroad to happen with more students in more spaces. To facilitate this enhanced culture of study abroad, we are here to support and empower you through:
- digital resources,
- regular meetings,
- a newsletter,
- incentives,
- and more!
