GLBT Students and Study Abroad
The Office of Overseas Study encourages all students to consider
making study abroad part of their degree program at Indiana
University. And we welcome GLBT students who meet our eligibility
requirements to participate in our programs. In an attempt to
assist you with what may be a challenging transition from your life
here in the United States, we:
- Provide a
bibliography about the GLBT
community from an international perspective.
- Include sections in our handbooks about sexual identity.
- Encourage our program sites overseas to keep information
available about local GLBT support groups.
- Stay in close contact with the GLBT Student Support Services
office on the IUB campus.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of the study abroad experience,
related to your sexual orientation or otherwise, please contact
either of the associate directors in the Office of Overseas Study.
Additional resources and information about GLBT issues abroad can be found at
NAFSA's Rainbow Special
Interest Group Web site. This site is maintained by staff of Indiana University and produced by international education professionals who specialize in GLBT issues.
