I, too, am Study Abroad

Study abroad has been dominated by privileged students over the years. As a first generation student at Colorado State in the 1960s and 1970s I wanted to travel but could never figure out how to make it happen - finances, logistics, support from family. The State University of New York at Oswego has begun to encourage students from more diverse backgrounds to consider this enriching learning experience through its "I, too, am Study Abroad" campaign. The proportion of students from diverse cultural backgrounds now match the overall demographics of its student body.
