Education Abroad Co-Curricular Experiences That Result in Intercultural Responsive Leadership Growth

Abstract

Simpson supported that The American Association of Colleges and Universities (AACU) and their joint effort with the American Council on Education and the federal government have found that study abroad has a huge impact on a students' development as globally diversity-minded citizens. Study abroad improves many intellectual attitudes and skills. Collaboration between co-curricular involvements, diverse experiences, integrated learning experiences, intent study abroad, the first-year experience, and others are critical strategic initiatives that impact students' development and their global awareness.
