The four students from Braye’s fall semester course "COR 4330: The Impact of Studying Abroad" challenged faculty and study abroad staff to re-think standard re-entry programs and engage with their returning students.
At the recent Workshop on Intercultural Skills Enhancement Conference sponsored by Wake Forest University, four Elon seniors led a pre-conference workshop with Stephen Braye, professor of English, entitled “The Missing Piece: Enhancing Student Learning through Effective Re-Entry Programs.”
Allison Durand ’25, a double major in acting and political science who studied in London; Nicholas Rugbart ’25, a major in international and global studies who studied in Taiwan; Belle Stephens ’25, a double major in strategic communications and sociology who studied in Japan and Carissa Pallander ’25, a major in creative writing who studied in Bath and Ireland, shared the issues students face when re-entering their lives at home and Elon after transformative experiences abroad.
