Many first generation and racially and ethnically diverse students have never been out of the country. Join us for a community discussion on ways to attract underrepresented students to study abroad. As professionals in the field, we must devise ways to go out and meet students where they are and stimulate interest, not relying on the appeal of advertisements that are often cited as barriers to participation. In this dialogue, we will address recruiting and advising challenges, considering issues of heritage identity and travel destination. Also, successful recruitment approaches will be discussed. It is our aim to seek creative ideas and questions from attendees in order to continue building upon our collective efforts to impact underrepresentation and better serve students of color through inclusive practices.
