“A couple of times, my supervisor told me, ‘It’s morning tea time, Olivia.’ So, I had to stop everything I was doing at the time and have a cup of tea or coffee in the morning and afternoon. When I told my Kiwi co-workers that back in the States there is no such thing as a tea time (but that people only get an hour or half-an-hour lunch break), they were shocked.”⠀

"While many recognize the value of studying or interning abroad as an undergrad, the opportunity is just as valuable for graduate students, if not more! I was fortunate to study abroad twice during undergrad and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to intern abroad now in grad school. MBA programs are notoriously fast-paced and jam-packed, leaving little room for much else but most require students to complete an internship. If any part of you is curious about interning abroad, then take a look at the reasons why I think every MBA should intern abroad."⠀

“Their instant approval shocked me. My parents were excited I was able to have this opportunity that they never had and never would have. They work long, painstaking hours to make sure that my two brothers and I are well taken care of. With the help of financial aid and scholarships, this was a cheap, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I got to embark on. Knowing that they could live vicariously through me with my photos and detailed descriptions of everywhere I traveled to within Europe had my parents basically shoving me out of the door to leave. It all seemed fine and dandy until the culture shock of being a Black student in Spain completely hit me."

“My family and friends scrutinized my decision to study abroad in South Korea. While outwardly I stood by my decision, I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that I had doubts occasionally. I consistently asked myself questions about being Black in South Korea, like 'What will Korean people think when they see a Black guy walking around?' 'How will Korean people perceive me?' 'Will I be able to make friends?'" 🖤

“So what was holding me back? This is a question I really had to sit with myself and reflect on to answer. The truth is, the thing holding me back from exploring a different culture was the lingering fear of how people abroad would react to my intersecting identities."

⁣As members of the international education commu

⁣As members of the international education community, we deeply believe that a more compassionate and connected world across differences is not only possible, but imperative. And we know that requires a shared respect of human rights, dignity, and life. We mourn the killing of #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis, the killing of #AhmaudArbery in South Georgia, and the killing of #BreonnaTaylor in Louisville, whose deaths have drawn attention to the racism that Black Americans and other Americans of color face. BLACK LIVES MATTER.⠀
⠀
This pandemic has challenged our values of connection, cultural exchange, and dialogue across differences. We are now faced with an even greater challenge: standing together against the violence born of ignorance, bigotry, and racism. Listening matters. Participation matters. ⠀
⠀
CIS Abroad commits to working to do our part by:⠀
⠀
▪️Listening⠀
⠀
⠀
▪️Being anti-racist and an active bystander in all situations⠀
⠀
⠀
▪️Using our platform to stand for social justice and inclusion⠀
⠀
⠀
▪️Expanding our diversity resources so that our Black students and students of color feel better prepared and supported when traveling abroad⠀
⠀
⠀
▪️Offering service learning and other social justice courses to continue educating ourselves and our students⠀
⠀
⠀
▪️Donating to the Equal Justice Initiative, committed to changing the narrative about race in America⠀

Why go Virtual this Summer?

Here are a few reasons why you (and your friends) should consider a virtual internship abroad this summer.

GAIN VALUABLE REMOTE WORK SKILLS. 💻 Remote work isn’t the future way global business will function – it’s the present. And you'll get the experience to succeed.

COMPLETE MEANINGFUL PROJECTS. 🤝You’ll be assigned meaningful, measurable tasks and projects to work on with your international colleagues.

LIVE LIKE A LOCAL - FROM HOME. 💃🏻 Online cultural curriculum (like cooking and dance classes unique to your host country) will help you connect with the local culture.

Read the full blog post at our link in bio to get all five reasons you should consider a virtual internship.

Now that the entire world (it seems) has been canceled, virtual international experiences are popping up all over.

You’re likely being marketed these new opportunities and have a few questions.

Questions like: What is a virtual internship even?

Although it’s definitely not a substitute for a true international experience, it can be a great stepping stone.

Check out our comprehensive Virtual Internship FAQs (link in bio) to learn more about this exciting new experience.

And if you’re interested, the application is open until May 1st ✨

Sound on! 🔊 From Ruthie, our video editor, who’s been abroad since January: “Bonjour tous le monde!

If you haven’t seen me around the office for a hot minute it’s because I’ve been between Portugal and Paris for the past few months.

When I had originally booked my return flight for March I was not anticipating that to be one of the roughest travel weeks of our time! All is well, though. Keeping the distance, keeping my cool, and intending to be shipped back on a solid flight this weekend.

I wanted to share this video I just took from our window. At 8pm last night, Paris erupted in applause for the city’s medical professionals working their healing powers into overdrive. 🙏 Celebrating gratitude in times of uncertainty”

Updates around coronavirus are constantly appearin

Updates around coronavirus are constantly appearing in our news and social feeds, with the situation changing daily – and along with that, guidance from the CDC and U.S. State Department.

Many U.S. universities are putting strong policies in place that are affecting students’ ability to study abroad – we know this feels frustrating and out of our collective control.

For those of you whose universities are still allowing enrollment in programs abroad for this summer or fall, we’ve created an easy way for you to browse what CIS Abroad programs currently have sessions open for 2020.

Romina is CIS Abroad’s beloved Italy Country Dir

Romina is CIS Abroad’s beloved Italy Country Director and shared her thoughts this week with our Northampton, MA home office. We were moved and wanted to share this with our larger international education family.
.
“Nonna is worried about the current situation, but for some reason, she worries much less than us. She was born in 1935 and she was 10 when World War II ended. That’s probably why she is staying stronger than everyone in the family and she is the one who is comforting us. She may think that coronavirus is less scary than the war, and that we will overcome it as long as we stay at home and wash hands multiple times a day. She is optimistic and we should learn from her.”

"Before I left for my semester in Ireland, I was very nervous. What I was not ready for was the extent to which I would be uncomfortable during my first week. ... I thought a lot about what worked for me and what did not, and I turned those into my top six tips for handling anxiety abroad (or anywhere, actually)."
🇮🇪
@UDelaware marketing major, baseball player, and Greek Life member Matt (@mattlupo_) spent last fall in Dublin and put together a great list of strategies for managing anxiety while you're abroad.

Repost from Alumni Ambassador @aixwems !

HAPPY NATIONAL STUDY ABROAD DAY!!! As I was waiting for a friend to be done with classes at Place Vendome, this lovely old man approached me and we started chatting and I got to know all his favorite moments around Paris. At the end, Pierre told me he had a love for passion and asked if he could take some pictures of me. We had a lovely photoshop and this has been one of my favorite pictures from my whole study abroad experience. It’s always sooo fun to experience life through other people’s eyes 🥳🌏 #nationalstudyabroadday #myworldmyway #myworldmyview #studyabroad #paris #france
