Employers are increasingly looking for workers with international expertise and language skills because they know it makes their organizations more competitive in the marketplace. Only 1.4 percent of American college students participate in study abroad programs each year, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators. Pennsylvania has one of the highest study abroad rates, but with only 2.2 percent of the state’s students studying overseas, we have little reason to brag. Gregory G. Dell’Omo, Ph.D. President’s Message from 2009, Robert Morris University

  • Employers are increasingly looking for workers with international expertise and language skills because they know it makes their organizations more competitive in the marketplace. Only 1.4 percent of American college students participate in study abroad programs each year, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators. Pennsylvania has one of the highest study abroad rates, but with only 2.2 percent of the state’s students studying overseas, we have little reason to brag. When I became president of Robert Morris University in 2005, one of my top priorities was to substantially increase our students’ international experiences, through greater opportunities for study abroad as well as adding a global perspective to the education students receive here. One way we’ve done this is to sign exchange agreements with universities in 11 nations, which allow RMU students to study at an overseas university for the same tuition they pay here, and vice versa. Recognizing that our students all have different needs, based on their financial circumstances or the demands of their academic program, we offer a variety of short-term study abroad trips. Many of these, including trips to the Gambia and Ireland, are part of courses that include instruction at RMU’s Moon Township campus. These trips offer tremendous value. Studies conducted by the University of Delaware and the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities show that short-term study abroad trips improve students’ international expertise. These trips, however, are not just about helping students build their resumes. These are life-changing events for our students. After I read nursing student Lee Folk’s journal entries from his trip this July to Nicaragua, one of which you can read on page 4, I knew that the best way to demonstrate the impact that international experiences have on students was to let the students tell you themselves.
