It&#8217;ll be his eighth destination with NMC and second time in Europe. &#8220;I am itching to get on that plane and get my feet on the ground in France,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Study abroad trips are one form of experiential learning and required for the global endorsement credential NMC began offering eight years ago. Bensley said that global experiences add another dimension to classroom education.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They feel like they are a better student and much more prepared for the job market,&#8221; he said of past global endorsement recipients.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"2015-nmc-study-abroad-students-in-london-en-route-to-south-africa.jpg\" class=\"AlignImageLeft\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cceab76a0a0a00b876ae0be9651cd3e92015-nmc-study-abroad-students-in-london-en-route-to-south-africa-2.jpg\" width=\"360\" \/><span class=\"AlignCaptionLeft\" style=\"max-width: 360px;\">NMC study abroad students en route to South Africa from London<\/span>NMC also offers up to $1,000 Global Opportunities scholarships to defray the cost of the study abroad experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the four 2022 destinations are new for NMC. This week,13 nursing students departed for the UK, a previous destination for aviation students, and 15 culinary students set off for Spain.

That trip is the first half of an exchange created by a grant NMC submitted with the Universidad de La Salle, &#8220;Bridging Waterways across the Americas.&#8221; The Colombian students will come to Traverse City June 14&#8211;25.<\/p>\n<p>A fifth global experience is also slated for this summer.
