Congratulations to Susan Atkinson, the randomly selected winner of the Week 16 DIP Raffle Giveaway, who has been awarded a gift bag of items donated by the UW Housing.
Thank you to Susan for submitting three initiatives highlighting the wonderful work done through the International Academic Programs (IAP) for UW Study Abroad. The services and programs put forth by IAP help to ensure that UW students are prepared to have meaningful experiences abroad.
The Mental Health Abroad Student Identity has been a support service provided for students in collaboration with other units, to create identity pages for students to better prepare them for their time abroad.
Program Evaluations have helped IAP gather information from returned students around how identity impacts their time abroad. From student responses in evaluations, the IAP Advisor Series Lunch: Study Abroad, Identity, and Diversity sessions were born, sharing past experiences and evaluation responses to share information on how identity impacts study abroad experiences to the larger advising community.
We encourage campus community members to continue reporting information to DIP, as this effort is essential to creating the best database possible!
