Getting Involved
Getting Involved
Collaboration with faculty and staff on campus helps to make international education possible. Below are ways you can get involved in encouraging international education opportunities. Contact our office at any time. We look forward to working with you.
Study Abroad Class Presentations
Let us come to you! Study abroad alumni or staff can give a brief presentation about study abroad to your class or student group. We'll share a little about our experiences, a few photos, and general information about how to get started. Request a presentation below or show students this overview video.
Promotion
One of the most effective ways students learn about study abroad is by hearing about it directly from faculty, staff, or advisors. We hope you're willing to recommend, encourage, and support these opportunities! We don't expect you to know all about study abroad, so please feel free to send students our way. Study Abroad 101 is the first step and is available every Tue. & Wed. at noon (a perfect session for interested students to attend). If students want to talk with any of our student workers or staff they can schedule a meeting at any time.
