70%
of student-athletes regret not being able to study abroad due to their athletic commitments.
That's about to change.
Pledge to L.E.A.D. by 2020
Join the L.E.A.D. campaign - Leveraging Education Abroad for Development - by pledging 10% of student-athletes and athletic staff at your institution will participate in an abroad program by 2020.
Students who study abroad:
-
have higher GPAs
-
have higher graduation rates
-
have higher starting salaries
-
are twice as likely to land career-related jobs
