You've probably heard that learning a foreign language or traveling abroad will "broaden your horizons." Right? But what exactly does that mean? Dr. Juana Park shares how becoming bilingual can actually affect your cognitive functioning and even your interpersonal success! Also in this episode, special guest Dr. Carrie Brown unpacks how Psi Chi chapters and members can become involved in Psi Chi's new International Advisory Committee. Specifically, she describes the International Partners and Leaders (IPALs) program, which pairs chapters internationally and provides a "menu" of activities to help them build unique cross-cultural relationships.
