My name is
Instructor Renee Jones
Studied abroad as a student
Studied language and culture in MA
Traveled to Paris with EF
A little about me: [This is your opportunity to introduce yourself & share a brief bio with the students in attendance. They may know you from class, but may not know you well as a person or as someone who has traveled. Sharing why travel is important to you will get students thinking about why travel is important to them].

12. Meet students from around the country
Group Travel
Meet students from around the country
Keeps our program affordable
Allows more students to see the world
Meet new people & make new friends
Learn with others in a global classroom
Program and departure flexibility match us with other groups
So what is group travel?
It means our group may join another group of students, and we experience the trip together.
This is great because:
It allows us to meet new people, make new friends, and network with other people like you from around the country (and create memories abroad with them!)
You have a built-in cohort of other students that are sharing in what you’re learning and experiencing in a global classroom
Helps to keep the programs affordable (same price no matter how many enroll)

13. Professional Development
An accelerated path to success
Whether you are thinking about it now or not, this opportunity will be something that you will be able to use and reflect on for years to come. 
Did you know:
90% of students found studying abroad was valuable to their overall education.* - 100% of students saw a greater improvement in GPA (and a rise twice as quickly) and 96% of students found an increase in self-confidence post study abroad***
Employers increasingly value soft-skills (like empathy, leadership & confidence) over hard skills (like math, science, etc.)**

80% of study abroad students noted that studying abroad helped them adjust to different types of work environments.
And most importantly – 97% of students who study abroad get a full-time job within 1 year of graduation, vs. only 49% of those who don’t?
