This International Education Week, join DiversityAbroad.com and IES Abroad on Thursday, November 19th as we Embark to Excel!
Studying abroad is no longer a luxury; in fact, it is an essential experience on the path to global leadership. The first annual Embark to Excel Conference will provide you with the necessary information and resources to help you realize that study abroad is within your reach. There will be sessions addressing your biggest concerns throughout the day. These sessions will feature students who have already studied abroad sharing their experiences getting to and through study abroad. There will also be guest speakers from the study abroad industry helping you navigate the study abroad process. If you can’t join us for all of the sessions, don’t worry, we will be providing recordings and resources for everyone who registers - see the conference agenda:
