What is National Study Abroad Day?
The Day was founded by Erin Kunert and Jessica Mulvihill during a chance encounter while serving on a panel for the IIE Generation Study Abroad scholarship. Their conversation sparked the idea, with Jessica famously remarking, “If there’s a National Pickle Day, there has to be a National Study Abroad Day.”
Erin enthusiastically embraced the concept, transforming their casual discussion into an annual celebration that highlights the transformative power of international education. Their grassroots movement has since grown into a significant event that brings together educational institutions to promote global learning experiences.
Remember, Study Abroad Day is more than just an event – it’s a celebration of cultural exchange, personal growth, and global understanding. Let’s make this year’s celebration the most memorable yet!
