Despite the setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic, study abroad programs continue through different platforms.Â
UNL Education Abroad funded 25 new global experience programs, both local and virtual, for the summer and fall of 2021, according to Rebecca Baskerville, director of Education Abroad. Students can sign up for these programs in MyRED, but will also go through a short registration process in MyWorld.Â
Faculty and staff across campus came together to design courses to adapt to health guidelines, according to Baskerville.
âFaculty-led study abroad programs have always been popular among students,â Baskerville said. âWe turned to our faculty and wanted to see if they were interested in setting up their own virtual programs. We also thought we could have programs right here in Lincoln.âÂ
