Goals
How will you further develop your global perspective while you are abroad? How will you make the most of this experience, personally, academically and professionally? How will you develop your interpersonal and intrapersonal skill sets? Prior to going abroad, set SMART goals, or clearly defined objectives for your international experience. Be sure to come up with Action Plans, or strategies, to make sure that you have reached your goal(s).
