Abstract
When considering the intersectionality of race, class, gender, poverty, social inequality, globalization and internationalization, in-depth immersion in a study abroad program has proven to be an exciting, effective and reliable model for increasing a student's awareness and actively stimulating their capacity for higher learning. It often leads to an increase in participatory community activism and civic engagement upon the student's return to their home campuses and community environments.
