In a Sept. 21st commentary piece entitled “Study Abroad Is Often Not All It Should Be,” John F. Burness, visiting professor in the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, expresses his concerns about the value of study abroad. It’s a good read with valid points.
In a recent, Nov. 2nd, Letter to the Editor entitled “Education Abroad Is More Important Than Ever For U.S. Students,” Joshua S. McKeown, Director of International Education and Programs at State University of New York at Oswego, counters Burness’ claims and is also a good read with valid points.
