These materials were developed as a printable Action Kit to help celebrate the Year of Study Abroad. While much of this information is contained in this website, this format allows you to download and produce copies of your own Action Kit. In addition, the News Release, Proclamation, and Sample Article may be edited to fit your needs. We hope this Kit will serve as a useful tool during your activities this year!
