February 2022: Study Abroad Updates |
|
Dear Partners and Colleagues,
Last Friday, the Syracuse University Chancellor shared a statement about the distressing events in Ukraine and the potential impact even on our the own university community. These events have only underscored the importance of our work as international educators. We send students to live and study in other countries, to learn new languages, to engage with cultures, to challenge their beliefs and assumptions about the world, and to build empathy. Student mobility is an integral tool in our toolbox and we use it to encourage ourselves, and others, to explore with an open mind and learn more about our world.
While there are pertinent updates in this newsletter, we also invite our international education colleagues to take pause on this Study Abroad Day and be reminded of our 'why' for working in international education. There is comfort knowing we are working together to leave the world in better shape than we found it.
Take care of yourselves, and all our best from Syracuse University.
Warmly,
Brock

Associate Director, Institutional Relations
