Wake Forest awarded ‘Seal of Excellence’ for meeting study abroad goals

Wake Forest has earned the Institute of International Education (IIE) Seal of Excellence for achieving its goal to increase the number of U.S. students studying abroad. With a study abroad participation rate of 81% by 2020, the University exceeded its initial goal of 75%.

“The IIE Seal of Excellence is about more than just meeting our target percentage of the number of students studying abroad. Fundamentally, it reflects years of collective effort to make study abroad more accessible to all of our students. In this way, the recognition is a tribute to all the Wake Forest students, faculty, and staff who have made it possible to meet our goal,” said David Taylor, assistant dean of Global Study Away Programs.

Wake Forest is one of only 19 colleges and universities in the U.S. to be recognized by IIE for meeting their Generation Study Abroad commitments in 2020.
