In addition to faculty-led education abroad trips, there are a few exciting opportunities both in-person overseas and remotely that are available to our students this year, and we’ll hold info sessions about them all next week (two of these also include possibilities of internship add-ons). You or any students are very welcome to contact me directly to learn more about any or all. Each of these is open to graduate and undergraduate students, though the first one is primarily geared towards seniors and master’s level students.
