This week’s episode, hosted by Aly Weaver, is a continuation of the Center's blog post, “Barriers to HURMS Study Abroad Engagement.” Specifically, this episode explores an example of a study abroad program that successfully promoted engagement by historically underrepresented minority students (HURMS) and how to utilize Universal Design to make study abroad more accessible. The episode highlights two publications:
