February is International Opportunities Month at UW-Madison

February 2007 is the seventh annual International Opportunities Month (IOM) on the UW-Madison campus, organized by a campus-wide committee of globally focused organizations and chaired by the Center for International Business, Education and Research (CIBER.) Throughout the month, students of all majors can attend IOM events to learn about global issues and to hear about ways to travel, work, study and volunteer abroad.

UW-Madison students have demonstrated a significant amount of interest in going abroad—in 2003-2004, more than 58 percent of UW-Madison students studied overseas for at least one term, compared to the national average of 38 percent. IOM helps meet this growing demand for international opportunities by creating a month-long series of events to inspire students to continue their global studies and travels.
