Going abroad is an excellent opportunity to travel and explore other
cultures, but have you ever wondered how it can help you stand out to future
employers or launch your career?

In this free webinar, presenters with diverse disabilities describe how
their experiences studying, volunteering, and working abroad made a positive
impact on their career paths. Staff from Mobility International USA (MIUSA)

towards exploring international exchange as an option for them!

accommodations provided upon request with advance notice.

Some of the most exciting programs have been developed for students with learning disabilities. The short video linked below shows how powerful these learning tools can be. UMD has this software for both use in the Library and on USB devices for check-out. Be amazed!
