Hello there!
Thank you to everyone who joined us on our 25th Annual Study Abroad Fair, which was held on Wednesday, September 20th, at the Duke Ellington Ballroom in the Holmes Student Center from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Study Abroad Alumni students were asked to submit their favorite photos from their study abroad experience for the Study Abroad Fair photo contest. All attendees were encouraged to vote on their favorite photos. We had four categories for Study Abroad Alumni to categorize their photos under:
- Capture the culture
- Lets Get Lost
- Social Media
- Put the Study in Study Abroad
The photo contest winners: Olivia Hardy, Kristen Amstutz, Taylor Cassidy, and Matthew Pepper will be awarded a large canvas with their photo printed on it!

Students were invited to attend the Fair to learn about international study options such as service learning, internships, independent research, and traditional classroom study. With over 300 programs in 80 different countries, spanning anywhere from two weeks to an academic year, there are many program options to fit within any area of academic study.
Studying abroad has many positive impacts for students, not just from a personal perspective, but from an employment perspective too. Not only does it stand out to prospective employers, it can be leveraged in job interviews and is a completely life changing experience.
