BHM Global Week is designed to educate and support Black students looking to study abroad and engage in various global spaces. We have planned a series of programs aimed at answering common questions from Black students interested in study abroad, as well as strategies for navigating the unique obstacles that Black students encounter in their study abroad endeavors.
