Join us as we welcome Ana Cecilia Lara and Milagros López-Fred from our Department of English, Theatre, and World Languages, to discuss the inspiring experiences students receive through Study Abroad. The opportunity to see and experience new countries and cultures broadens perspectives and enriches student learning. Not simply a fun vacation, Study Abroad is a class that the students take, which incorporates learning before the trip, coordinated educational outreach during the trip, and concludes with reflection upon return.
Our conversation looks at logistics such as cost, and the availability of payment plans, grants, and scholarships to ease this burden. Listeners will learn about the student and faculty teams who set out on these adventures, if they ever get lost, and what popular food of Spain became a favorite.
In addition to Study Abroad, UNCP students interact with various programs across the department, including Acto Latino, a student club which presents theatre productions. The Fall Festival is another much-loved activity of the Department, honoring Hispanic heritage across campus.
