• You can stop into the GEO office at LPH 130 for drop-in advising. The GEO Graduate Assistant Alicia is great at helping students who are getting started. She does drop-ins from Mondays from 12 pm - 3 pm and Thursdays from 9 am - 10:30 am.
• If you can’t make her drop-in advising, make a plan to attend Huskers Abroad 101. It’s a 30-minute info session that gives you all the basics about studying abroad, like the different types of programs, the terms you can study abroad, and how to select a program. There’s no registration needed, just show up any Tuesdays at 3pm in LPH 137 or Wednesdays in LPH 124. You can check out the GEO Calendar for all of our events, https://events.unl.edu/globalexperiences/upcoming/, and keep an eye out for Huskers Abroad 102. That’s a weekly info session that will help you learn how to pay for your study abroad program. It should be starting up the week of September 23.
• If you are interested in studying abroad eventually, but don’t have a passport, you can apply for the annual passport giveaway, https://unl-global-experiences.via-trm.com/program_brochure/18667.
