On Thursday, Sept. 11, the Mississippi University for Women Gordy Honors College Forum Series will highlight the benefits of study abroad, with Erinn Holloway, interim director of the university’s Study Abroad Programs.
Holloway herself has led a study abroad trip to Alicante, Spain, and will lead another in summer 2015. Faculty who led a recent MUW-sponsored trip to Ireland and who will lead next summer’s Honors study abroad program will also be on hand at the session.
Participants in study abroad programs, says Holloway, “encounter a variety of ideas, customs and perspectives that are different from those of their country of origin” and thus “broaden their views of their own world and the world beyond.”
All of MUW’s general study abroad offerings are available to community members as well as full-time students.
The event will take place 6 p.m. in Nissan Auditorium in Parkinson Hall on the MUW campus. For more information, contact Interim Director of the Honors College Kim Whitehead at [email protected], 662-241-6850.
