Student Experiences Abroad: Penn Students and Global Engagement
Wednesday, April 11, 2007, 6 to 8 pm
Have you considered studying abroad? Did you know that nearly 600 Penn students will study abroad this coming fall semester? Join us for an evening celebrating study abroad opportunities available at Penn. Each room in the Weigle Information Commons will represent a country or region and will host students who will share their personal experiences with that part of the world.
Students will share their photographs, multimedia, video and music and will answer your questions. Librarians will present information about how Penn Library supports students while they study abroad. Penn Abroad staff will provide an overview of study abroad programs available. This event will provide excellent opportunities to ask questions, learn about the study abroad process at Penn and speak in depth with students who have been to the part of the world that you are interested in.
No registration is required - this is a walk-in event. All are welcome and light refreshments will be provided. Students, faculty and staff who have studied abroad can register to present their experiences.
