Become a citizen of the world!
Have you considered studying abroad? Did you know that more than 700 Penn students study abroad each year? 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 Libraries support students while they study abroad. Penn Abroad staff will discuss the study abroad programs available. 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.
