We checked in with one of the Virtual Internship Program participants to see what a day in the life virtually interning 'in' London looks like. Jessica F.—a Lehigh University student who's majoring in Finance and Mechanical Engineering—shared her day with us.
At IES Abroad, we believe that every black student going abroad, past or present, is making black history abroad. Black History Month is as good a time as ever to celebrate that truth.

We know that 2020 shook a lot of things up (some of them are still being shook…), but let’s chat about something positive in the future that you can focus on—your career!
In a year when we all felt grounded (literally)—like it was the longest layover of our lives!—stories from abroad kept spirits in flight. We're wrapping up 2020 with a look back at the videos, photos, articles, and blogs you loved most. Ready for the rest of best of the best? Us too.
Nothing could have prepared us for this year—not even 70 years of experience getting comfortable with the unknown and helping students step out of their comfort zones through study abroad. That's why this holiday season, we're simultaneously reflecting and looking ahead.
The last month of 2020 is finally upon us—how's your ✨holiday spirit✨ holding up this year? For better or worse, the holidays continue to look different this year. And while it's easy to get stuck in a feeling of loss when things don't happen as planned, we're firm believers in celebrating the good.
This Thanksgiving we're thankful for the time this year gave us to reflect on what's important, be grateful for travel and the many cultures that make up our world, and to find a renewed sense of wanderlust and passion for study abroad. We can’t wait to help you see the world, hopefully someday soon. In the meantime, check out some of these Thanksgiving-inspired pieces from across the web and give yourself a little global escape today.
