Reentry Resources Available To University Students Returning From Study Abroad Programs: A Case Study, Jacqueline Diane Pollis

Theses (1 year embargo)

Students from overseas study abroad programs are returning to the US with feelings of distress, anxiety, and cultural identity confusion, most of which are not dealt with on the university campus. This study looks at a large Midwestern university to determine what kinds of resources are available to these students, whether or not they help students with feelings of reentry shock, and suggests new ways to assist in culturally ambiguous situations experienced on the home country campus.
