A pillar of our mission is to prepare and equip students to engage in the challenges of the world. Once students enter college – sometimes even before – they begin to explore the questions of what courses they want to take, what major they want to focus on, and what degree they want to walk away with. Students spend hours considering what careers, passions, internships, fields to pursue, and how their studies and degrees might help them get there.

Season 2 of the Living & Learning Podcast was created to be a helpful resource for students considering the life-changing opportunity of studying abroad.We want to make it easy for you to find the perfect alumni story to answer your questions and give you some insight into the real life experiences of our study abroad and study away alumni!

This fall, Living & Learning International’s Baltimore Urban Studies (BUS) program hosted two symposiums, one in Baltimore City at the BUS campus and one at Wheaton College.

We love our current staff and we are so excited to welcome new members to the team! Check out who’s new and get to know all our staff on our Meet the Team page.

Faculty and students, you are invited to join us in Baltimore, Maryland for the multi-day symposium–We Rise Together: Learning from Diverse Communities of Baltimore and Washington D.C. about How Forced Migration Impacts Wholistic Health.

The four general principles of the BUS educational philosophy: (1) Experiential Learning, (2) Implicit Bias Awareness and Anti-Racism Learning, (3) Transformational Learning, and (4) Redemptive Reconciliation.

The foundation of the BUS began twenty years ago at Wheaton College in Illinois. Starting in 2001, we had the privilege of working together to encourage, equip, and challenge students to engage in global urban learning.
