Abstract

This study investigates the cultural sensitivity of students who participated in a faculty-led short trip (travelers) versus students who did not participate in a study abroad experience (non-travelers). Both groups displayed cultural sensitivity, awareness, and cross-cultural communication. However, travelers seemed to be more responsive to multicultural and global concerns.
