Global Engagements
UWG now offers highly curated programming abroad, tailored to businesses and partners in our community.
Empirical studies show a high correlation between participation in study-abroad programs and success at university. Students simply perform better and are more successful for having taken part of a course of study outside their home country. UWG believes that the same growth-mindset experience should be available to all. Through meaningful partnerships with local businesses and community groups, we are realizing that vision. Explore our offerings below.
Upcoming Trips
In academic year 2026, we are contracting with Sole Roots Racing in Carrollton to offer a boutique series of "destination runs" and with Smyrna's Oenophile Institute for a wine-education and eno-gastromic tour, both using Spoleto, Italy, as a base of operations. We will also be hosting residents from the Birches on Maple, Tanner Health System's 55+ active community in Carrollton, in Rome and Spoleto for a cultural tour.
Name Your Adventure
As a community group or local business, you have the ability to tailor this unique opportunity to fit your needs and desires. Rather than tackling all the logistics of foreign travel on your own or settling for cookie-cutter tourist packages, you can be part of the design process with us, ensuring that you offer the most effective and meaningful experience to your group.
