The Study Abroad SIG welcomes anyone interested into its wide membership, domestically and overseas.  The aim is to facilitate an active and working network of faculty, staff, and students who can share and exchange experiences, knowledge, and knowhow on how to plan, prepare, implement, and evaluate different study abroad programs/experiences.  Study abroad includes all categories of inbound and outbound, one-way study abroad, exchange, internships, experience, and cultural programs.  The goal for many SIG members is to network, to collect and share data and information for future collaboration, research, presentations, and papers in the area of study abroad.
The Journal of Worldwide Education is currently seeking reviewers and editorial board members. If you are interested, please click here.

Study Abroad SIG Update Meeting and Meet Your New SIG Officers! [ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ]
Dear esteemed SIG members, it’s been a while!

​Following the sudden departure of our Coordinator and Program Chair back in April, we’ve been working behind the scenes to get things in the SIG back up and running. Part of that has involved recruiting a new Coordinator and Program Chair and we’re pleased to announce that we have now filled these roles. Our new Coordinator is Thomas (Tom) Legge and our new Program Chair is Delano Cannegieter.

We would like to host a Zoom Meeting at 8:00pm on July 18th to introduce the new (and not-so-new!) officers, discuss our plans for this year’s Study Abroad SIG conference (which we are planning to hold in person this year!), the JALT International Conference, and finally some of our plans for the SIG moving forwards.
