Study abroad advocacy is gaining momentum outside of the educational community. Even First Lady Michelle Obama has joined the discussion, speaking out in support of the long-term values of an international education experience. She is quoted during a March 2014 visit to Stanford University’s Stanford Center at Peking University in China,

 “The benefits of study abroad are almost endless . . . more and more companies are realizing that they need people with experiences around the world, who can speak different languages, who can transition easily into other cultures and people who bring to their jobs a sensibility and a sensitivity for other people. It will also make you more compassionate.”
