MSU is proud to have one of the nation’s largest study abroad programs – one that spans the world and helps to build international understanding through education.
The annual Tales from Abroad Essay Contest aims to capture the essence of study abroad by encouraging students to reflect and write creatively about the unique living and learning experiences that study abroad provides.
