Through this innovative centralized initiative, up to 100 under-represented UM students will participate in physical outbound mobility, engaging in experiential learning opportunities abroad, acquiring intercultural skills and gaining global perspectives.
Prior to travelling, UM will offer customized wrap-around and financial supports to target groups, leveraging existing programs, investments, and partnerships both within UM and abroad. Depending on the nature of the program, students will complete Intercultural Leadership co-curricular certificate program and a 6-module pre-departure course to maximize their experiences. Upon return, they will continue their involvement by sharing their learnings, becoming mentors, and participating in the selection of future participants.
