Upcoming Website Maintenance

Early this Monday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will undergo scheduled maintenance. During this time some or all features of the site - like login and account creation - will be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

Your unique identity goes where you go – including South Africa! Browse a collection of IES Abroad and other website's resources specific to identity in South Africa on topics such as dietary concerns; race, ethnicity, and national identity; gender and sexuality; religion and spirituality; disability and mental health; and more!

Just as each study abroad experience is unique, each location offers a different adventure. So we've made sure to compile diversity resources specific to your host city and country.

Looking for more information on a particular topic? Contact our Diversity Relations Department at diversity@IESabroad.org, and we'll be happy to share additional resources that may not be available online. Once you are in South Africa, your Student Affairs Coordinator will be available to provide additional resources, support, and connections to the local community.
