Developing a study abroad student organization

Abstract

This study encompassed a comprehensive overview of the context and significance of a study abroad peer mentor organization. The evidence suggests peer mentoring can play an important role as a student progresses towards a college degree. The peer mentor organization featured in this paper will allow past study abroad participants to share their experiences with prospective study abroad participants. This would provide students with the opportunity to reflect and make meaning of their experience abroad. The creative project can be utilized and adapted by study abroad coordinators who would like to implement this type of initiative in their office.
