Study Abroad Tour
Summer 2009

Be a globetrotter. Study Abroad!

Yes, it’s free! Complete your first year at Gallaudet with good grades, and then head out with your peers and faculty on a one-week amazing global trek to another country during summer 2009.

Venture out and learn about cultures, languages, foods, history, art, and ways of life different from your own. Increase your own understanding for bridge building while feeding off your appetite for adventure and wanderlust.

Studies show that study abroad students are adventurous and high achieving, and are more likely to finish college. Increasingly, employers are placing more value on resumes with study abroad experiences.
