Gilman international scholarship is through social media. I believe social media has interchanged the way society interacts and the way study abroad students, interact with students before, during, and after their time abroad. Social media is a good way to connect students who want to go abroad with students who are overseas. Google hangouts or skype would be a great way to interact with freshman and be able to explain what it is like to be abroad and share my experience. Another way to promote is on facebook,instagram,twitter by posting pictures and videos on my experience and thanking the Benjamin A. Gilman international scholarship on the wonderful

    The person speaking for this presentation shockingly enough went over the exact same information for Hope College that I had heard regarding the opportunities at the University of Michigan: clubs, sports teams, and travel abroad opportunities. The difference this time is that I was shocked when i heard the words “travel abroad” in this presentation. Since Hope college is a small liberal arts college with less than 5000 people, I never would have thought in a million years that they would have the resources or programs that the University of Michigan had. Although they didn’t have anywhere near the amount of programs that the University of Michigan had, I was pleasantly surprised with the programs they did offer. Based on your major and what you’re interested in, counselors or other personal can help you specify certain locations and programs for you to take part in.

    Many people plan to see the world or to travel at some point in their life and have new experiences but few ever get the opertunity to do so either due to work, school or simple problems in everyday life. The few that do however get the chance to travel abroad and see the world might not be able to do so until they are very old or have retired. Because of this I propose a program that would allow students to see the world while they are still in school, realitively unbrudened by things such as work or worry of money, bills or insurence. The program I have in mind is known as the student exchange program. The student exchange program allows for a student to leave their country of residence and take up residence in another country all while still going to school and studying within the country.
