Discover Korea

Join us in Korea

In May 2025, graduate students and professionals were invited to participate in a 10-day (May 21—31), education abroad program to South Korea. Under the guidance of Dr. Ben Littlepage and Dr. Samir Patel, attendees  explored how individual wellness is defined, assessed, and supported at the secondary and post-secondary education levels in a Southeast Asian culture. K-12 education, counseling, and higher education are becoming increasingly globalized. Professionals in these fields are encouraged to adopt a multicultural  perspective to provide optimal student support and holistic wellness for all students.
