The EdOdyssey Educator: May 2021 Newsletter

Teacher Appreciation Week

Sharing our love for teachers with our community.

Earlier this month, we expressed our gratitude for educators. They’ve gone around the world with us, and their work in and out of the classroom inspires their students to take on challenges while abroad.

To our faculty chaperones and to all teachers, we continue to give thanks for the pivotal role that you’ve played in our lives. Best of luck as you finish up the school year!

Participation in Global Panel Discussion

Sharing an international perspective to Boston community & beyond.

The Boston Area Study Abroad Association (BASAA) invited our own Luis Garcia to provide his Peruvian perspective in their worldwide virtual panel discussion on “Navigating Study Abroad in a COVID-19 World”. Over 100 attendees from around the globe gained unique insights into some of Peru’s public policy and the communication between medical providers and the local community in Lima.

This week, Luis started sharing his knowledge and passion for culture with our Latinx Patient summer cohort of aspiring and current healthcare workers.

Program Highlight: Florence Semester Abroad

Highlighting what makes the home of the Renaissance a special place.

World renown art, famous sculptures, and ancient streets have inspired generations of locals and global citizens. Around this time of year, the end of the spring season fills the region of Tuscany with warm weather and breathes even more life into the city.

We’re excited to share the beauty and history of this world famous city with students during our semester program this upcoming school year.
