Murray State University

Welcome

Get out of here! Explore your academic horizons with Murray State University when you study abroad. You’ll find that the world is smaller than you think, that people can agree to disagree, and that perhaps you can dream a bigger dream.

Study abroad gives you the opportunity to challenge your own views as you interact with people from around the world, people who have been raised in a different culture and tradition. Give yourself the chance to open new doors – you’ll be surprised at what you might find when you do.

Highlights

Honeymoon With My Brother
Friday, November 20th, 6:00 p.m., Curris Center Theatre

Author Franz Wisner will be one of the Keynote Speakers at this year's International Education Week festivities.
Franz Wisner has no idea what to label his profession. Writer? International travel addict? Professional dumpee? He is the New York Times bestselling author of Honeymoon with My Brother, a memoir of the two-year, 53-country honeymoon he took with his younger brother Kurt after being left at the altar by his fiancé, and the recently released How the World Makes Love, a look at dating, marriage, sex, and romance around the planet.

Franz and his honeymooning brother have appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, CNN, and Fox News, among others. He has also penned essays for NPR, Redbook, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Toronto Globe and Mail, and Coast Magazine.
