Study Abroad Forum to Share Highlights of Learning Around the World
|
VALDOSTA --Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø will host a Study Abroad
Forum at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20, in the University Center
Theater. The event is expected to last an hour.
“We will have 12 students who participated in various Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø-run study
abroad programs, exchange programs, as well as those who
volunteered abroad,” said Irina McClellan, assistant director of
Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø’s Center for International Programs. “They will discuss how
they decided to participate in education abroad, how they selected
their programs, what they learned, and how they changed as a result
of their experiences.”
Among those scheduled to speak during the Study Abroad Forum are
students who participated in volunteer learning projects in
Argentina; studied intensive Spanish language in Cadiz, Spain;
spent a semester in Hungary and Argentina; and studied military
history in St. Petersburg, Russia, political science in the Czech
Republic, and business in Germany.
“Some of these students get so much out of their study abroad
experiences that they are planning to go abroad next summer as
well,” McClellan added.
The Study Abroad Forum is sponsored by Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø’s Center for
International Programs, Council on Undergraduate Research, and the
Department of Modern and Classical Languages.
