It teaches students to appreciate difference and diversity firsthand, and enables them to recognize and then dismiss stereotypes they may have held about people they had never met.Learning how to interact with people from other countries and cultures equips future leaders in all sectors to address urgent issues from curing diseases and finding energy solutions, to fighting terrorism and hunger shared across borders.Alan Goodman, PresidentInstitute of International Education Study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.
