A week ago, I was attending the 2nd annual IIE Generation Study Abroad Summit in Washington, DC and as I indicated in previous posts it was an excellent experience on many levels!
Last Friday, I posted about my favorite session at the Summit entitled Data-Driven Decision-Making: Documenting Study Abroad's Impact on Academic & Career Success presented by Lisa Loberg of California Lutheran, Ann Hubbard of the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) and Gary Rhodes of California State University of Dominguez Hills.
While speaking during the session, Gary brought up a very interesting idea that I really like. In short, he suggested that students update their resumes before studying abroad, while they are studying abroad and after they return from study abroad. I think this is an excellent idea and valuable exercise for study abroad students should consider doing!
Have you done something similar with students you work with who are heading abroad?

Keeping one's resume current is an excellent idea as you never know when you may need it, even studying abroad.
