Study Abroad Fair 2018 Photo Contest Winners!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 26th Annual Study Abroad Fair, which was held on Wednesday September 26th at the Duke Ellington Ballroom in the Holmes Student Center. Students were invited to attend the Study Abroad Fair to learn about all of the international study abroad program options, which can include 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!

Study Abroad alumni students were asked to submit their favorite photos from their time abroad to the Study Abroad Fair Photo Contest. Fair attendees had the opportunity to vote on their favorite photos!
The four categories were as followed:

1. Capture the Culture
2. Let’s Get Lost
3. Social Media
4. Put the Study in Study Abroad

Below are the photos of our winners!

It’s not just about getting the perfect Instagram pictures! Studying abroad has many positive impacts on students, not just from a personal perspective, but from an employment perspective as well. Not only do study abroad alumni stand out to prospective employers, but it is also an experience that can be leveraged in job interviews and completely change your life!

 Congratulations to our winners and thank you to all of the students whom participated in our contest and submitted their favorite photos with us. We cannot wait until next year’s photo submissions to check out some amazing places!
