Building Intercultural Competency Skills within the Collegiate Student-Athlete through Short-term Study Abroad Programming

Abstract

Higher education institutions are internationalizing their campuses to help create global citizens, but what about the college athletes? Will they get an opportunity to become global citizens if they are tied to their sport on campus. Find out why it is important to provide opportunities to this group of students and how to help them become culturally competent citizens. I focused on bridging the world of college athletics with the wonderful world of international education. Using international education scholars such as Dr. Darla Deardorff and Dr. Tony Ogden to help frame my research.
