CIEE's Effort to Close Study Abroad Gap Gains National Attention
Studying abroad is an amazing experience that every student should have. However, challenges such as cost, curriculum, and culture can prevent some students from doing so. CIEE is rethinking the study abroad model to adapt to those challenges and increase access to study abroad by underrepresented groups, particularly students from minority-serving institutions (MSI). CIEE's efforts have gained national attention and have been covered by sources such as University Business, University World News, and The Root. Read more about this significant CIEE initiative here.

ALUM OF THE MONTH
Dana Roberts
In the fall of 2010, Dana studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain through the CIEE Advanced Liberal Arts program. She is the co-founder of "Plant Based Traveler," an online travel series dedicated to showcasing a vegan travel lifestyle. Back in November we shared her story on the CIEE Alumni Blog and now we are excited to feature her as Alum of the Month! Dana and her partner Lou have been busy working on new content for "Plant Based Traveler" in the new year, including their first vlog and a great video on how to make vegan curry (yum!). Previous vegan travel adventures have included Paris, New York, Lima and Cusco but 2016 is all about Berlin.
Congratulations on a new year of "Plant Based Traveler," Dana! We look forward to more vlogs from you both!
