One of the perks of attending college is access to study abroad programs. As a past faculty advisor of George Mason University’s summer program in English at the University of Cambridge, and as the future advisor for Oxford Summer School in 2009, I think more college students should take advantage of these life-changing opportunities.

Only 5% of college students graduate with study abroad experience. As the workplace becomes increasingly globalized, employers often look for international experience on student resumes. That one line addition of University of Madrid or Oxford University Summer School just might make the difference in getting a job with an office in Spain or England.
