Global Education Week (Sept. 18-23) is a series of events bringing opportunities and information to Denison first-years and sophomores about the possibilities for study abroad. There are a number of chances to learn about the range of programs and the possible ways of funding. The experience of studying in another country can be a key step in both personal growth and cross-cultural understanding in an increasingly globalized world, and with the proper planning, it can be affordable and accessible no matter your major or extra-curricular commitments.
