The Study Abroad Journal is the ideal companion for this course, and will provide a lasting artifact for students to keep with them as they move through life. I am very excited about using the publication. I only wish the Study Abroad journal existed during my undergraduate career."

"My favorite part/tip was to create a resume based specifically on study abroad experiences. Genius and I think you guys read my mind because I could never actually put that into words but that was definitely floating around in pieces in my head."
