As part of our celebration of International Education Week 2021 (Nov. 15-19), Abroadia will host Elisabet Raquel García. She is a Global Education DEI Consultant Specialist for her company, Access Equitable Education. She was a first-gen, low-income student turned 4x scholar abroad and Gilman Awardee. She was also a 2x Study Abroad Peer Advisor and Liaison at the Division of Global learning at her Alma Mater, UC Santa Cruz, where she began her journey helping historically underserved students access global learning opportunities. Since then, she has been invited by the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations to participate in a special Cultural Immersion and Volunteer Program for Scholars of Mexican Origin in 2019 and to work as a Bilingual On-Site mentor for the program in 2021. She and her work has been featured by UCEAP, UC Santa Cruz Global Learning, and Terra Dotta.

She will share her global thoughts with us on November 16th at 2pm Eastern time. Her presentation is titled "Gendered Experiences of Study Abroad Students". The registration link is: http://bit.do/global-thoughts-elisabetraquelgarcia. See you then!
