Neal McKinney (he/him/his) joined the education abroad field in 2015 and serves as the Associate Director of Off-Campus Programs at DePauw University. During his time at DePauw, Neal has become a passionate social justice advocate, and has focused his energy on increasing outreach and access for underrepresented students to study abroad. As a result of his efforts, DePauw has seen increased participation in first generation students, students of color, and Pell-grant eligible students by 11%, 25%, and 35% respectively over the past four years.

Neal’s most rewarding accomplishment includes successfully securing a $1-million commitment in endowed funds from DePauw’s Alumni Development office specifically for inclusive excellence funding to support underrepresented student participation in experiential learning programs including study abroad and international internships. Through this accomplishment, Neal developed the Global Access Initiative Challenge scholarship program (which he pitched at Diversity Abroad’s first Innovation Competition, and earned him an honorable mention), and this effort has provided $10,000 in scholarship funds to ten underrepresented student scholars.

Lastly, within the larger international education field, Neal has taken to every opportunity to center his professional development on diversity and inclusion. He is very active within Diversity Abroad, having attended/presented at the past three conferences, served on the Race/Ethnicity Task Force, participated/twice co-chaired the Global Student Leadership summit, and as well as submitting a paper for the Global Impact Exchange publication. He has also been able to share his expertise at the NAFSA national convention, the IFSA Conference, and to the national ACPA student affairs conference.

Xavier University of Louisiana, located in New Orleans, was founded in 1925 by Mother Katharine Drexel (canonized in 2000 by Pope John Paul II). It is America’s only Historically Black and Catholic University, which is just the first of the distinctions that have set Xavier University of Louisiana apart for more than eight decades. Despite its relatively small size
(3,300 students), Xavier is a nationally recognized leader in the STEM and the health sciences, producing more African American students who graduate from medical schools each year than any other university in the United States. Its College of Pharmacy is among the top producers of African American pharmacists.

Both Xavier’s core and each discipline’s specific curriculum are guided intimately by the University’s mission such that students are developed to be life-long learners and global leaders that actively contribute to a more just and humane society for all. The study abroad program, through the Center for Intercultural and International Programs, has been an integral part of Xavier’s diverse learning and teaching approach in fulfilling this mission. Xavier has also consistently provided significant scholarships and training opportunities for students to participate in many study abroad and academic programs.

Its liberal arts-based programs in areas such as art, business, education, psychology, and political science – as well as such recent additions as bioinformatics, data science, neuroscience, crime and social justice, and jazz studies – offer students an unbeatable combination of traditional classroom study, hands-on research, service-learning opportunities, and life experiences.

Jazzlyn is a senior majoring in International Studies with a concentration in Asian Studies and a Business minor at the University of South Alabama. To promote her interests in Asia she co-founded, and is the current President for the campus organization USA Hallyu, which seeks to educate about and encourage interest in Korean culture both traditional and modern. She chose to participate in a year long study abroad program in Seoul, South Korea, and was inspired during her time abroad. After returning from her program she became a study abroad ambassador at the Office of International Education at her university. She uses this platform to encourage other students to study abroad by hosting info sessions, seminars, and one-to-one study abroad advising, as well as assisting current international students on campus. She hopes that by sharing her personal experiences abroad, she can attest to the importance of studying abroad, and help her peers to overcome obstacles preventing them from studying.

Grand Valley State University (GVSU) strives to make sure their outreach, marketing and recruitment efforts reflect the widest possible range of student experiences and to involve underrepresented students in the process of developing their outreach strategy. Notable projects include outreach videos for the new TRiO and Student-Athlete study abroad programs, outreach events such as ‘Being Black & Brown Abroad’ and ‘LGBTQIA+ Abroad’, Passport Scholarships and the ‘First Around the World’ book collaboration with TRiO Student Support Services.

Omar Nedzelsky Jr. is a current Master of Science in Health Science student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). Being a first-generation Hispanic student in his family made him feel proud of accomplishing this milestone in his academic career and allowed him to prove to his family that the world is bigger than what we think. He considers his culture to be very reserved, and having the support from his family to venture out and gain experiences that lead to him becoming a global citizen was the most rewarding opportunity he could ever ask for. During his academic career at UTRGV, he was fortunate enough to have studied abroad more than once and got to visit countries such as United Kingdom, France, and the most recent Japan as a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship recipient. This allowed him to open and become himself within the world. He got to make global connections with different walks of life, their cultures, and their languages. These opportunities were just enough to allow him to experience the diversity of a culture, get a better understanding of the world, and encouraged him to break out of his comfort zone.
