COVID-19 Report: Jeremiah from Beijing

With all of our trips on hold indefinitely, we wanted to check in with our partners from around the world. I asked some international friends of the program to send us reports. Here is Jeremiah from Beijing: jeremiahjenne.net

Housed within the Longhorn Center for Academic Equity, Global Leadership and Social Impact (GLSI) provides accessible education abroad programs in four different destinations across the globe: the United Arab Emirates, Senegal, Mexico and South Africa.

Many of the students participating in GLSI are underrepresented in study abroad programs across the nation. With about 80% of participants who identify as Black and Latino, the GLSI is moving the needle on the study abroad gap—showing students the many possibilities of world travel.

Here’s a video by RTF major Justice Beverley recapping his experience in Beijing, 2019
