More than “Emily in Paris” – How to Have a Meaningful Study Abroad

1/27 – 3:30 PM – Online

In this one hour interactive dialogue, the Taylor Center and the Office of Study Abroad will guide you on creating a study abroad experience that goes deeper than getting that perfect wanderlust photo. How does one engage authentically with their host country? How does one become a global citizen and not just a tourist? How does one engage with self-development and personal growth in a meaningful way?

This event is open to any student who is interested in, or planning to, study abroad.
