A Letter From Our President in Response to Systemic Racism

"This has been a tragic week in U.S. history. We are hurting as a people. Given the thoughtful, empathetic, and mission-driven nature of the type of people who come to work at IES Abroad, George Floyd’s murder and the systemic racism that continues to exist in the U.S. dating back over 400 years has been on all of our minds."

Future-Focused Friday: A Few Things That Inspired Us This Week

Fridays are now all about sharing the things that brought us joy throughout the week—like re-finding this photo a student took in Amsterdam, which felt like a perfect way to celebrate Earth Week. What we wouldn't give to be chilling in a field of Dutch tulips right now. It's things like this that make us extra excited for the day you can travel the world again. We call it a Future-Focused Friday, because tbh, we just love a little alliteration
