Have you ever wondered what it would be like to …

examine Shakespeare’s plays in London?
study health, human rights, and sustainability in India?
learn Spanish in Buenos Aires?

Whatever your goals and interests, it is likely that UO Study Abroad has a program for you. Because it’s never too early to think about ways to enhance your academic experience, the Study Abroad Office has scheduled two events over the next week (see the Calendar for more details).

If you have never considered studying abroad or think it is an impossibility, think again. Hundreds of students like you travel every year and come back with enriching experiences that broaden their worldviews and shape their futures. Come to our events to find out more!

It’s a bit early to be thinking about Spring Break, right? Wrong. The UO has developed five programs for students interested in using this week to help others and become educated in a variety of social justice issues. Choosing one of these programs is a great way to bolster your resume. More importantly, participants regularly report that these trips have enhanced their awareness of national and global issues and have contributed to their personal growth.

The themes for Spring 2015 include issues surrounding environmental studies  (Hawaii and Guatemala), human rights (Watsonville and San Francisco), and food justice (Los Angeles).

Applications are due November 5. To learn more about these programs and apply, click the image on the left.
