Ithaca College

A representative from Diversity Abroad will be on campus on Thursday, September 27th.  They will offer an Info Session for students, staff and faculty in Textor 103 from 12:10-1:00 which will include an introduction to the organization and the resources they offer. In addition to that session, the Diversity Abroad representative is interested in conducting individual class visits and meeting with faculty. 

Diversity Abroad aims to ensure that students from diverse backgrounds are aware, have equal access, and take advantage of the benefits and opportunities afforded through global education. Their annual Passport Tour is focused on conducting campus visits across the United States in an effort to increase interest and participation in study abroad among underrepresented groups at university and college campuses. Diversity Abroad's online resources serve as a point of reference for students who may be interested in how to make study abroad a possibility and how identity may influence a student's international experience. Diversity Abroad also offers scholarships to fund study abroad programs.

Class visits last about 5 minutes with optional additional time for Q&A. The representative is available for class visits and meetings from 9:00 am until noon, then from 1:00-2:00 pm. The visit will include a brief introduction to Diversity Abroad, and to the resources they offer. If you're interested in hosting Diversity Abroad for a class visit, please email Diversity Abroad representative Senait Chrisostomo directly at community@diversityabroad.com.
