Keep Up with UM-Flint Students Abroad with a Blog

Study abroad programs have long afforded UM-Flint students rare opportunities to experience new cultures firsthand. In recent years, student participants have given those of us left stateside the opportunity to tag along on their travels via blogs, social networking platforms, and other media-sharing technologies.

The following is a list of recent study abroad trips as chronicled by UM-Flint students.

Spain

Beth LeBlanc is an Honors student majoring in Spanish and Journalism who is currently studying in overseas in Spain. Check out Beth's great blog "Communicating Culture."

Australia

Brandon Tuttle is a student in the Health Administration program. His international internship with Ramsay Health Care and an American Expat took him to Sydney, Australia. He chronicles his experience at The Old Man (Down Under).

Taiwan

In May, assistant professor of accounting Jacob Peng, Ph.D. lead a group of School of Management students on what was to be a trip to both Taiwan and Japan. However, due to the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown, Peng and his students retooled their itinerary to focus more on Taiwan, and had an utterly unique and insightful adventure there. Check out how these students chronicled their visit.
