CWRU Students Study
Around the World
During Spring Break
|
|
Last week, almost 200 CWRU students set out to explore the globe on CWRU study abroad programs. Their educational journeys took them to France, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Namibia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Uganda and other countries to delve deeper into subjects ranging from engineering to classics to social justice to medicine. The students traveled mostly in groups led by CWRU faculty members. They earned CWRU credits for their coursework, gained knowledge in the process, and have returned from their experiences as more innovative thinkers. CWRU will soon offer Winter Break study abroad programs that will provide more of these transformative opportunities. We will have details here about how you can participate in one of these programs and think beyond the classroom. Applications will be due in early September.
