Creating a Viable Study Abroad Learning Experience: Strategies and Curricular
by Sharon Michalove.
James Ferguson, a 19th century Scottish architect said "Travel is more than a visitor seeing sights; it is the profound changing—the deep and permanent changing—of that visitor's perspective of the world, and of his own place in it." As someone deeply committed to the idea that students should have study abroad experiences, this quotation resonates very strongly for me.
