This is a past event, but you can watch the recording below. Join Senior Diversity Relations Manager Hernando Sevilla-Garcia for a virtual event featuring an intergenerational panel of IES Abroad alums and partners. This dialogue focuses on the Black student experience and perspective as well the impact of IES Abroad study abroad on personal and professional endeavors. We hope their stories, advice, and perspectives will inspire more Black students to make study abroad a reality.

At IES Abroad, we believe that every Black student going abroad, past or present, is making Black history abroad. They are expanding others’ perceptions of what it means to be a global citizen. They are movers and shakers, globally, trying new experiences, participating in innovative efforts through internships, and making their mark in large and small ways. 

Learn more about theTake Off with IES Abroad initiative. For more than 50 years, we have partnered with Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) to educate their students all over the world through study abroad and internships. Eager to take it a step further, we formalized this commitment and launched our Take Off with IES Abroad initiative in 2017, providing dedicated tools, information, and outreach to students like you.
