The concept of inclusive excellence and the inclusive excellence scorecard are tools that can be utilized by international educators to examine the participation of students of color in study abroad within our own institutions, to evaluate efforts to resolve underrepresentation, and to inform best practices to support all students throughout the study abroad process. The inclusive excellence scorecard, modified for study abroad, examines access and equity, campus climate, diversity in the formal and informal curriculum, and learning and development. Until institutions have a clear understanding of the experiences, challenges, and opportunities on their own campuses and study abroad programs, they cannot effectively create change to better serve students of color and impact underrepresentation.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad}, author={Sweeney, Karyn}, year={2013}, month={Aug.}, pages={1–21} }
