Review by: Craig McMahan, University Minister and Director of Mercer on Mission Program, Mercer University - January 1, 2025
"Eminent scholars and master teachers, Drs. Houry and Obidoa draw upon their decades of experience leading university-level international programs. They offer here, not a third-person primer on how to build a study abroad program, but rather a first-person testimonial as to why. In their own unfiltered voices, former students describe a compelling array of life-shaping impacts realized through study abroad. These inspiring stories will surely fuel the launch of many new international learning initiatives."

"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."
