Greetings from the Director

I'm Roy Robinson, the director of Study Abroad in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR). I want to invite you to take advantage of some our many diverse international opportunities.

International experiences are an important part of a student's education. Studying abroad strengthens foreign language skills, provides important intercultural understanding and allows students to expand their global outlook. Through study abroad, CAFNR students bolster and diversify their portfolio of skills that compliment their CAFNR education. Additionally, in this global economy employers are looking to hire students with international experience.

In order to provide these opportunities to students we offer academic year, semester, summer and winter break study abroad programs around the world.

CAFNR not only encourages students to study abroad, but also supports study abroad financially. We understand that with increasing tuition costs it can be difficult to consider studying abroad. Therefore, we offer over $20,000 in scholarships exclusively for study abroad as well as study abroad loans for our students.

Study abroad has greatly affected me both personally and professionally, and I encourage you to challenge yourself and study abroad. It will be a decision that you won't regret and that you will profit from the rest of your life.

Please contact me about studying abroad through CAFNR.

Sincerely,
Roy Robinson
Director of Study Abroad
