"Study Abroad 101 by Wendy Williamson is a brilliantly conceived and expertly presented introduction providing specific, concise, informed and informative answers to 101 direct questions about studying abroad" -- Midwest Book Review
From the Author
It was fun to re-write on planes, trains, and automobiles, and in hotels and motels around the world (late at night). What I learned is that "wait time" can be quite valuable when used on something other than email and Solitaire.
Not only do I talk about travel, but about attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary for a fruitful life. This book is the best I've ever written, as it touches the heart of who I've become, and how you, too, can be transformed through travel.
Wendy Williamson is the Director of Study Abroad at Eastern Illinois University and has helped thousands of students travel overseas. She holds a M.A. in Counselor Education: Administration of College Student Affairs from Western Michigan University and a B.A. in Communication and Culture from Indiana University. She also completed two assignments (four years) with the Peace Corps in Cameroon and Ecuador.
In her spare time, Wendy trains in the martial arts. She is a black belt karate instructor and has more than 25 years of experience. She has taught Christ-centered martial arts classes in youth clubs, hostels, schools, and churches around the world and has been involved in the development of Christian martial arts ministry. Wendy is also the founder of the Christian Martial Arts Network.
I found Wendy Williamson's book, "Study Abroad 101," very useful both for advisers and students. It is comprehensive, without overwhelming students with information; it covers potentially all subjects and questions related to study abroad: from the basics on how to choose and secure funding for a program to attempts to define what culture is, how one should handle stereotypes, how to cope with anti-American sentiment abroad, and how to build an international career. I particularly appreciated the section with questions on the transcultural experience and suggestions on how to integrate the answers in students' resumes for job market. It is obvious the author of this book has extensive experience as a study abroad adviser and a global vision on the purpose and outcomes of international programs. "Study Abroad 101" is a useful book for advisers to have on their desks, for parents to read, and for students to use as a guide in their search and preparation for a study abroad program.
