    General note

    Historical Note: Even before the first exchange program in 1976, the International Programs Office has pursued its mission of encouraging a global perspective. Linfield’s International Office now offers study abroad opportunities in 14 countries including Austria, Australia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, England, France, German, Ireland, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Senegal, Spain and China (Beijing and Hong Kong). The IPO collection houses materials that relate to the office’s mission, especially integrating student perspectives. The documentation of study abroad, International Club and other events in the past testify to the efforts of the office to continue support for student learning.
