How can you get the most out of study abroad? It’s by designing your own experience. Design is about understanding people, thinking holistically to make connections, trying things out, and learning along the way. With this mindset, skills, and tools, you can design a study abroad experience where you feel connected and supported, meet your academic goals, gain clarity on your career path, deepen your intercultural learning, and take full advantage of what your host environment has to offer.
Annie Gibson, Director of NTC Office of Study Abroad, will lead an interactive workshop on designing your study abroad experience. You will get tips and stories from previous students as you develop strategies to inform your decisions about where to live, what courses to take, how to become involved with co-curricular experiences, how to seek support, how to find belonging, and how to explore career paths while abroad. Professor Gibson will also introduce students to the 3-credit asynchronous INTU Study Abroad Intercultural Learning Course (with optional Service-Learning credit abroad).
