We hope that you will encourage all of your students to consider studying abroad during his/her ODU career. In order to properly advise students on their study abroad options, we ask that you refer them to our 办公室. You may also request a 出国留学 presentation for your students, by emailing us at studyabroad@gharsocho.com.
Short-term faculty-led programs offer faculty the chance to "broaden students' horizons" both in the classroom and outside of it in new and exciting ways. We encourage faculty to consider leading a program abroad.
