The Institute of International Education recently launched three new IIEPassport Study Abroad columns to help student throughout the entire study abroad process. These engaging resources offer students information on such topics as choosing the destination that's right for you, the importance of study abroad for your future career, and working with your study abroad adviser.

The columnists are: 

• "Stuff Your Study Abroad Adviser Says" by Ken Lewandoski of Appalachian State University 
• "Pack Your Bags and Study Abroad!" by Colleen V. Tomanek of Harper College 
• "Comings/Goings" by Taso G. Lagos of the University of Washington 

These columnists will be posting throughout the year on a variety of topics that are relevant to students who are applying for or currently on a study abroad program. For more information on IIEPassport, please visit, www.iiepassport.org.
