Brundage, Doctoral Candidate in the College of Education, and Dr. Gayle Christensen, Interim Vice Provost for Global Affairs and Affiliate Assistant Professor in the College of Education, at the 91探花, finds that study abroad is a high-impact practice for the students who are least likely to study abroad and indicates the need for continued work to strengthen access to study abroad opportunities for historically underserved students.
