Earth Day 2022 Theme: Invest in Our Planet 🌱

April 22 is Earth Day—Invest in Our Planet … and Yourself!

For Earth Day 2022, we are encouraged to invest in our planet. And this is a genuinely worthy effort. However, it's easier to help save the planet if you get to know it first, to see it from more than one perspective, to step back and see your own footprint from a new point of view.

Sweden 🇸🇪

Why you should explore Sweden:

🌱 Sustainability practices
🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+-friendly
🔬 Academic research options
🇬🇧 Classes in English
♀ Greater gender equality

Great for engineers, science & SSHA majors, Sweden is a perennial favorite. Apply to Sweden.

Spring UCEAP deadline: Apr 21

Meet Victoria, Peer Advisor

"Hi everyone! My name is Victoria and I'm from the Bay Area … My favorite thing by far has been meeting our brilliant international students and helping our UC Merced students along their study abroad journey! I am currently trying to study abroad in Ireland during Fall '22, so I'm going through the application process at the same time as many of you ✈️
