Shout out to Heide Pedersen, our amazing Senior International Program Consultant, for these stunning photos of Japan. 🇯🇵 🗻 😍 "Japan was MAGICAL! The food, the history, the culture, the people, the incredible technology that makes you feel like you’re visiting the future…We had so much joy tasting all the unique foods, wandering the (extremely clean) streets, collecting eki stamps, riding the trains and hearing all the different music at each station… plus, my heart still dreams of the amazing toilets (IYKYK) – haha!)." - Heide P.

🏥 ⚕️Our Envision by WorldStrides NYLF Medicine & Health Care program is a chance for future doctors and health care practitioners to enjoy an extraordinary opportunity to discover their passions through hands-on medical experience. Students experienced the collegiate lifestyle firsthand, learned from doctors, participated in an interactive curriculum led by advisors, visited an accredited medical school, tested their medical knowledge during clinical skills rotations, and explored professional opportunities in the ever-expanding fields of medicine and health care among fellow high school students. 👩🏾⚕️ 👨🏻⚕️ This group of students got together on program and submitted to our 2024 WorldStrides Photo & Video Contest with the hopes of spreading a message about the dangers of excessive phone use. We hope this raises awareness to reduce screen time and acts as a reminder to put your safety and the safety of others first!

"This study abroad journey has broadened my perspective on international business. I've gained invaluable knowledge that will benefit me in my academic endeavors and future career...I am immensely grateful to WorldStrides for making this experience one to remember." - Karen Lopez, Accounting and Information Systems at University of Texas at Arlington

We spent the last half of our study abroad trip in the beautiful city of Bilbao where we had the opportunity to visit museums, universities, and businesses. The Guggenheim Museum, with its collection of modern paintings and sculptures, was entertaining and awe-inspiring. We were also able to tour Guernica, where we gained a powerful perspective of the devastation of war and how it people remember their history and what inspired Picasso's painting "Guernica." Our visits to Mondragon Unibertsitatea and University of Deusto offered fascinating insights into the contrasting academics abroad. We were particularly struck by Mondragon's unique approach, fostering close collaboration with cooperatives and offering a less conventional path to education that supports entrepreneurship. Urbegi Social Impact further enriched our experience. We learned how their non-profit organization supports Bizkaia state and empowers vulnerable entrepreneurs. This study abroad journey has broadened my perspective on international business. I've gained invaluable knowledge that will benefit me in my academic endeavors and future career. I am immensely grateful to The University of Texas at Arlington - College of Business, Philisa Stanford, M.Ed., Jhonniece Meeks, M.A., and the team at WorldStrides for making this experience one to remember. #RISEinSpain2024 #BusinessMavericks #BizMavAbroad #UTAStudyAbroad.
