Study Abroad E-Book

        

Dear Student,

 

You are eligible to receive a FREE eBook of A Student Guide to Study Abroad, published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in partnership with American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS) Foundation.  

 

You are receiving this because Winthrop University has joined IIE’s Generation Study Abroad campaign to help more students to be able to study abroad.  The book sells for $14.95 (print edition) and $5.99 (eBook), so we encourage you to take advantage of this benefit, and to take a look at this useful book wherever you are in the process – whether you are already planning to study abroad, or just beginning to consider whether it is right for you.

 

Learning how to interact with people from other countries and cultures will be essential for all careers, whether in business, manufacturing, engineering, government, academia or not-for-profit. Study abroad is one of the best ways to gain these skills, and we want to make sure you are armed with the information needed to make one of the most important decisions of your academic career.

 

You can download your free copy of A Student Guide to Study Abroad from any computer, phone, or e-reader.  Just go to www.iie.org/studentguidedownload and select the file format that works for you.
