Students can come enjoy desserts, games and prizes while taking advantage of this opportunity. Third party providers such as Semester at Sea, International Studies Abroad (ISA) and CEA will be in attendance to promote their programs and to answer any questions from students.

“It’s a one-stop shop for students interested in studying abroad,” said Chad Berry, associate director of education abroad for the University. “They can get a lot of their initial questions answered, have face-to-face conversations with people who are offering trips and talk to our staff about the process and start applying.”
