Reviews

Review by: Felix Jelen, assistant vice president of Global Engagement, Mercer University - December 20, 2024
"Mercer University expects real and tangible value for our students from their study abroad experiences. Global Education is as diverse as our student population, combining academics, research, and service in a variety of combinations and in many global locations. Student experiences abroad inform their worldview, inspiring the development of perspectives and skill sets that serve them long after they return home. This volume is a testament to the Mercer approach--one which distinguishes our educational experience."
Review by: Emily Dunn, assistant director of Global Education, Mercer University - December 20, 2024
"Global Education's power to change worldviews has long been recognized in higher education. Recently, study abroad experiences have been acknowledged for their capacity to build what is essentially a toolbox of skills that students can deploy in multiple aspects of their personal and professional life well beyond graduation. Throughout these stories you will hear students reflect on their valuable experiences abroad."
