Our 24 scholars will travel with faculty members from Indiana University Bloomington to several historic and remote cities across Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) and India (New Delhi, Agra, Varanasia, and Mumbai). The India program will be led by Dr. Kevin D. Brown from the IU Maurer School of Lawwhile the Brazil program will be co-led by Dr. Maria E.

Over 80 scholars had applied for this year’s IU OVPDEMA Brazil and India summer study abroad program.

Indiana University Bloomington ranks 10th nationwide in the overall number of students studying abroad (Institute of International Education – Open Doors, 2016). We congratulate all 24 scholars for their outstanding commitment to academic excellence and global citizenship. We look forward to hearing more about your cross-cultural and global learning experiences this summer!
