Hello everyone,

As promised, I come bearing an RSVP for the study abroad info session we will be holding on Monday, November 21st from 4-5pm in the Maple Hall Great Room. Please encourage your students to RSVP if they attend! Food will be provided.

I will discuss the basics of study abroad: types of engineering abroad program, how to find them, how to apply, and what advising conversations to have before making the decision. I will also highlight a few programs of interest with approaching due dates. A big theme of the session will be to plan ahead, so students are encouraged to come even if they aren’t certain yet that study abroad is for them!
