We are thrilled to announce that of the more than 200 applications we received, 31 students have been selected to blog this spring at blogs.iesabroad.org. Representing IES Abroad programs around the world, these students will share their thoughts before departure, their experiences during their programs, and their reflections once they return home. The Spring 2011 blogger group joins the growing ranks of IES Abroad students chronicling their study abroad adventures on our blog site! Each month, nearly 5,000 unique visitors take a peek inside the lives of our students as they live and learn abroad. We invite you to follow the adventures of these students over the next few months.
Some of our spring bloggers have already started their pre-departure and on-site posts and the rest will begin making their first posts soon, so stay tuned!
