Questions Education Abroad Providers May Want to Consider or

Ask Themselves• Do we know the race and ethnicity of the student body on our

campus and/or the campuses we serve?• Do we know the race and ethnicity of the students we send abroad?• Do we provide programs for students who want heritage seeking

opportunities?• Do we highlight these opportunities for our students?• Do we incorporate information/discussion about heritage seeking in

our pre-departure orientation?• Based on the demographics of our campus and students abroad,

can we develop programs that incorporate heritage seeking opportunities in Western Europe?
