Celebrating 25 Years of CIEE in Budapest
CIEE alumni, staff, partners, and friends gathered at Corvinus University in Budapest, Hungary on March 4 for a special celebration of the 25th anniversary of CIEE study abroad in Budapest. For one week leading up to the event, the CIEE Alumni Global Network engaged in a virtual celebration of the anniversary. Here's what some of our alumni had to say:
"While I was there, I lived with a three-generation family in a beautiful apartment in the 13th district by Margaret Bridge. And ever since then, I have considered myself blessed to have a Hungarian family to go home to every time I visit Budapest.” -Amy Liu, CIEE Budapest, 2000
“If I had to describe my experience in one word it would be unforgettable.” –Marissa Kramer, CIEE Budapest, 2013

Global Immersion Programs for High School Students
CIEE offers great programs for U.S. high school students to help them become global citizens in today's interconnected world. Opportunities such as CIEE Global Navigator High School Programs, CIEE High School Abroad, and CIEE Gap Year Abroad foster cultural exploration through activities, excursions, a homestay experience (in most locations), and unique community immersion. CIEE alumni and children of alumni get a 10% discount on any of these programs. Registration discounts ($250) also apply for Gap Year and High School Abroad students who apply early!
On the Blog: "Life Lessons Learned from Studying Abroad"

Tyler Davoren, CIEE alum who studied abroad in Brussels, Belgium during the summer of 2014, shares with us some life lessons learned from studying abroad. He is now working as a Chapter Support Specialist for the national office of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, where he regularly seeks opportunities to travel and live every day to the fullest.
