Throughout 2003-2004, interns at the Study Abroad Office created an invaluable resource for African American Students interested in Study Abroad. The World is in Your Hands Student Guide is the fruit of more than two years of intense planning and networking with past African American participants in Study Abroad. Feedback from past participants was compiled and analyzed to determine the benefits and difficulties for African American students on study abroad programs. The guide that was born of this effort is an honest glance at the experience of an African American student while abroad.

The Guide went through three subsequent drafts to reach its current form. It will continue to expand as more and more African American students study overseas. The Guide itself has been showcased at numerous national and local conferences as a resource for both African American students and Study Abroad Professions
