#HogsAbroad French Exchange Students Call for Compassion After Terrorist Attacks

Two of our University of Arkansas exchange students from France, Megane and Albanne, were recently interviewed by the local news outlet about their reactions to the terrorist attacks in France.


We are proud to be able to help to not only send our students to study abroad, but also to bring in students like these to bring issues and different perspectives closer to those students who aren't able to go overseas.


For a list of our exchange programs, please go to http://studyabroad.uark.edu/programs/exchange.  If you're a U of A student and would like to discuss taking part in an exchange, give us a call at 479-575-7582 to set up an appointment with an advisor.

"Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations. Man's capacity for decent behavior seems to vary directly with his perception of others as individual humans with human motives and feelings, whereas his capacity for barbarism seems related to his perception of an adversary in abstract terms, as the embodiment, that is, of some evil design or ideology."
