With readily available vaccinations and ever-changing travel restrictions, the Ole Miss Study Abroad Office is planning on sending students abroad for both the fall 2021 and spring 2022 semesters. The program currently has 30 participants abroad, which is 10 less than its pre-pandemic fall average.
This past summer alone, the UM Study Abroad office sent 87 students to countries such as Spain, Italy, France, Morocco, Jordan, Korea, Iceland, the United Kingdom and Madagascar. According to an email from study abroad director, Blair McElroy, the office also “facilitated and offered virtual global experiences with partners in Taiwan and mainland China.
