UO’s Lisa Calevi promotes study abroad on The Street

Besides providing a global perspective, studying abroad might also help students get a job after college.

Lisa Calevi, the campus and partner relations manager for the UO’s Global Education Oregon program, recently spoke to the financial news website The Street about how students should be more proactive with study abroad if they want potential employers to be interested in them.

“Studying abroad is not a luxury; it’s very much a part of a 21st century education,” Calevi said to The Street. “… Corporate America recognizes that there are skills and competencies that are developed by even the single act of deciding to go study abroad.”
