We're Celebrating 17,000+ Diverse Students
In 2018, IES Abroad proudly marked the first 10 years of our Initiative to Diversify Education Abroad (IDEA): an innovative, sustained access and diversity effort that has now inspired nearly 18,000 multifaceted students to study and intern abroad. Join us in celebrating this milestone and a #worldofdifference as we share study abroad stories of underrepresented students.
Named for our Initiative to Diversify Education Abroad, IDEA Correspondents are students of diverse background, in regards to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation/identity, gender identity/expression, non-traditional major, physical/mental health/learning ability, socio-economic status, and/or as first-generation in their family to attend college, who share how their identities intersect with their study abroad experience.
