Around every bend or street corner is a new learning opportunity. International travel transforms us as we experience firsthand the geography, culture, sociology, economy and political climate of other countries. I have been fortunate as Washburn’s president to visit several universities around the DEPARTMENTS world where we have close relationships.

Freedom, relative prosperity, stable political structures, 27 social and ecological awareness, business and economic success, art and history are all part of the fabric of American life. What student traveling internationally can return home and not compare and contrast life in America with where he or she has just traveled? Students will ask questions such as: What is life like for people in other countries? How do my life and prospects for my future compare with those of people in other countries? The ability to answer these questions and understand the world is essential to our collective security and prosperity as a nation. Peace in the world depends on people understanding and appreciating each other. Washburn’s Transformational Experience in international 24 study is far more than tourism to exotic places. It transforms students.
