Home | About Us | Diversity Commitment

We’re proud that our students are as diverse as the countries where they study abroad.

Integral in fulfilling our mission is a commitment to the representation and integration of diverse perspectives, cultures, and ideas.

At IES Abroad, we understand that diversity must be cultivated and supported in several ways and at multiple levels—from accessibility and inclusiveness of a diverse student body to the learning environment and courses offered. We are dedicated to broadening access and cultivating a diverse, globally-savvy workforce.

We’ve had a front-row seat to observing how study abroad changes people—no matter who they are. Study abroad humanizes us. It expands our potential by honing our language, intercultural, and other skills, and, deepening our capacity for humility, empathy and fairness. It forces us to reconsider how we think about history, politics, migration, commerce, technology, health care, education, and community. We use our knowledge of travel, cultures, and places to cultivate global citizens who reflect the world’s rich diversity. This is our form of social justice. This is our platform for change.

What We're Doing

And by 'doing' we mean 'have been doing' and 'will continue to do.' In our more than 70 years of educating students around the world, we strive along a continuum of deepening and expanding diversity, equity, inclusion and antiracism at IES Abroad. Our work to best foster an inclusive learning and living community for students and workplace community for staff—in the United States and at our locations abroad—spans the entire organization.  

Have a look at the comprehensive and ongoing efforts to further this mission and know that we're always striving to do more and updating this section as we do.

Initiatives & Resources

Initiatives 

  • DACA Resources (2022) - IES Abroad is committed to extending its learning opportunities to students from all walks of life and recognizes that students under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status may wish to take part in our programs.

     
  • Diversity Initiative (2008) - We launched our first-in-the-field Diversity Initiative in 2008 to creatively address the relatively low participation of underrepresented students in study abroad. IES Abroad defines students of diverse and underrepresented backgrounds broadly, according to how students self-identify by race, first-generation college status, financial need, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or learning disability, mental health history, or any intersections of these identities. In 2011, it was formally named the Initiative to Diversify Education Abroad (IDEA).



    As part of the IES Abroad Diversity Initiative, participating leaders from academe, not-for-profits, and industry convened in Chicago to discuss the importance of and barriers to underrepresented students participating in international education programs. IES Abroad has produced a monograph of this event that includes a background concept paper on the lack of diversity among study abroad students and a summary of the discussion and recommendations of the Think Tank.



    In the 10+ years following the launch of IDEA, we have built a dedicated Diversity Team, expanded the financial and informational resources for students—including our Social Identity Resources section, collaborated with new partnerships, increased participation in outreach activities, and more. Since launching the Initiative, we have increased enrollment of ethnically-diverse students across all our platforms (study abroad, internships, and customized programs) by 112%; and in 2018-19, ethnically-diverse students made up 27% of the IES Abroad student body.

     
  • Take Off with IES Abroad (2017)- An initiative created out of more than fifty years of partnerships with Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) to educate and support their students in their study abroad journeys

     
  • Tu Mundo (2017)- an initiative designed to help more students from established and emerging Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) study abroad

     
  • Global Speaker Series (March 2019) - In 2019, IES Abroad launched a traveling Global Speaker Series, which brings together alumni, students, and guests for networking and conversation on global topics; a core practice of this series is bringing together a diverse (age, gender and ethnicity) featured alumni panel. Read about the inaugural event in New York City.

Resources

Academics & Scholarships

Academic Efforts at Our Centers (Ongoing)

  • Community-Based Learning: A number of IES Abroad Centers connect with NGOs and other organizations to enable student hands-on learning for credit that also supports minority and/or marginalized local communities. 

     
  • Dialogues on Difference Seminar: Cape Town, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and occasionally other Centers offer this seminar for academic credit that centers on various issues related to diversity and inclusion while focusing on the development of students' listening and dialogue skills.

     
  • Grupo Panas: IES Abroad Quito partners with this group of local university students from diverse backgrounds (indigenous, Afro-Ecuadorian, LGBTQ+) that organizes activities with our students and leads discussions on current events in Ecuador.

     
  • Center Diversity Plans: All IES Abroad Centers have comprehensive diversity plans that they update periodically.

     
  • Center Speaker Series: A number of IES Abroad Centers invite speakers from NGOs and advocacy groups to discuss current topics and issues (from social unrest/protests to relations between ethnic groups), often from a cross-cultural perspective.

     
  • Center Field Trips: A number of IES Abroad Centers have reimagined field trips to move away from traditional/canonical emphases to focus on reclaimed histories and diverse minority perspectives, including those of Jewish/Sephardic, Black, and Muslim histories.

Scholarships & Aid

We are committed to fostering and supporting a diverse student body. Our diversity scholarships and grants encourage and support students from a range of institutions and underrepresented populations. In addition to need-based financial aid, IES Abroad offers a number of donor-funded scholarships for underrepresented students:

Recent Customized & Faculty-Led Programs

Customized, faculty-led, and short-term programs by their very nature can make study abroad more accessible; whether it’s a shorter program to minimize costs for students from low-income backgrounds or the level of support and comfort that comes from attending a program comprised of your home school faculty and classmates. The ability to create a program from scratch based on specific students’ needs or catering to a set of students creates opportunity. A few recent examples include:

  • Virtual Lectures (2020-21): To continue some programming plans affected by the pandemic, Customized & Faculty-Led Programs and select IES Abroad Centers partnered on virtual lectures centered around diversity for schools upon request.
    • Global Nebraska Coalition of Diversity and Inclusion (University of Nebraska–Lincoln) – “Black and Indigenous Social Justice Movements Around the Globe” with IES Abroad Buenos Aires & Cape Town (March - April 2021)

       
  • Arrupe College of Loyola University - Culture & Regionalism in Spain (July 2019): At former President & CEO Dr. Mary Dwyer’s initiative, IES Abroad Customized & Faculty-Led Programs fully funded a faculty-led program in Barcelona where the participants were all first-generation college students who identified as Latinx.

The student group was comprised of several LGBTQ+-indentifying students as well as a Montana State Senator representing the 49th District in Missoula, Montana.

     
  • University of Texas at Austin - Entrepreneurship in Beijing (May-June 2012-2019): Every other spring, IES Abroad partnered with University of Texas at Austin’s Division of Diversity & Community Engagement to send approximately 50 first-generation students who primarily identify as Black to study entrepreneurship at IES Abroad's Center in Beijing.

     
  • University of Texas Rio Grande Valley - History & Culture in Tokyo (June-July 2018): The collaboration between IES Abroad's Tu Mundo, Customized and Faculty-Led Programs, and The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) made it possible for several Latinx students to participate on a study abroad program exploring the history and culture of Japan. UTRGV serves the largest number of Latinx students of all Texas universities and eleven of its students from the inaugural Tu Mundo cohort embarked on this journey of powerful experiences.
Internal Growth & Development
  • IES Abroad Montly DIA-logues - Our monthly series of DIA-logues (Diversity, Inclusion & Antiracism dialogues) are employee engagement discussions on a range of relevant topics of choice.
    • "Dear Homeland" (October 2021)

      For this DIA-logues conversation, IES Abroad staff made time and space to explore the lived experience of one such former student in viewing a documentary about Diana Gameros. The 2021 documentary film Dear Homeland follows the journey of the Mexican singer/songwriter. This film and conversation make room to elaborate on the complexity of the Latinx experience while lending towards growth and deeper understanding.
    • "Does Hispanic Heritage Month Need a Rebrand?" (September 2021)

      With topics associated with Latinx Heritage Month in mind, we joined to discuss New York Times OpEd piece “Does Hispanic Heritage Month Need a Rebrand,” which explores the debate over what this influential population calls itself, and the desire among some to commemorate the month that celebrates their heritage with renewed authenticity.
    • Exploring our Mulifaceted, Multicultural Identities (August 2021) - We work with IES Abroad colleagues around the world whose heritage or culture are “a little bit of this, and a little bit of that” and dove into the fascinating mosaic of race, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, regional backgrounds, and languages (including sign language) that make us each the unique human beings we are.
    • "High on the Hog" (July 2021) - The group discussed a 4-part documentary series “High on the Hog,” which takes viewers on a culinary trip through American food traditions influenced uniquely by Black America, past and present, and by centuries-old linkages to African culture.   
    • On Juneteenth (June 2021): The IES Abroad Diversity Committee held a Zoom discussion open to all staff members to discuss Annette Gordon-Reed’s new book, On Juneteenth.

  • Employee Affinity Groups (April 2021): IES Abroad supported staff in the formation of Employee Affinity Groups to help foster equity, inclusion and belonging as essential features of our organizational health. Employee Affinity Groups are internal networks of support based on staff self-identification within a particular social identity category that serves as the focal point of group participation. These groups aim to enhance the personal and professional development of staff, and to foster a sense of community and belonging that exceeds the boundaries of internal departments and designated professional roles. They meet on an ongoing basis throughout the year, the frequency of which is determined by the members of each group.
