New Fall 2011 Bloggers Selected

We are delighted to announce that 34 students have been selected to blog for us this fall at blogs.IESabroad.org.

These students, representing IES Abroad programs around the world, will share their thoughts before departure, their lives during the program, and their feelings and experiences once they return home. More than 100,000 visitors have followed the study abroad experiences of IES Abroad bloggers since we launched the site in August 2008.

Some of our fall bloggers have already started their pre-departure and on-site posts and the rest will begin making their first posts soon, so stay tuned!
