We made it to Oaxaca!

At Luther, we have a great global story to tell. This blog, in part, gives it voice!

In October 2019, the Institute of International Education released its annual Open Doors Report. Luther was ranked #9 of all baccalaureate institutions in the country for the number of students studying abroad on short-term duration programs.

During J-Term 2020, 243 students and 26 program leaders will participate in one of Luther's 14 courses around the globe. This blog is about more than numbers, though. Its purpose is to provide glimpses into our students’ experiences as they live out an important component of the college’s mission—to move us into a larger world.

So, take a look at the course descriptions, review the itineraries, and learn about our leaders. But most importantly, follow along as our J-Term students experience a much larger world.

Never fear (yes, I am looking at you mom and dad) your student has safely made it to Oaxaca airport and has already been picked up by their host family. How nice is it that they picked us up from the airport? Everyone seems so kind and friendly and we are so excited to start this journey, we already can tell that it’s going to be amazing! We are now headed home for a much needed night of rest and meeting our new families for the month. Despite any potential language barriers or tiredness after a long day of travel, everything has went off without a hitch. Check back in a few days to hear how our crew is adjusting to life in México!

Hasta mañana, Emma
