Office of Study Abroad Summer Hours. As the semester winds down, we at the Office of Study Abroad want to wish everyone good luck on your finals! On Monday, May 13 our office hours will change to 8am-4:30pm Monday through Friday for the summer, so if you need anything, we’ll still be here! Have a great summer break! And, don’t forget, summer is a fantastic time to start thinking about future study abroad plans. ;)

Short Takes: How Study-Abroad Experiences Help Create Global Understanding Some things in life have to be experienced firsthand to truly appreciate them. The U of A’s Study Abroad programs help students gain an appreciation for different cultures, people and places around the world. These experiences are often life-changing, influencing students' perspectives of the world as they learn about themselves.  We invite you to learn more about Study Abroad in this 90-second short takes video: http://ow.ly/kGgEt
