This event is in collaboration with WashU Overseas Programs. This is an informational session for students who are interested in studying abroad to learn from other students who have already completed their study abroad experience. The panel will consist of students who have studied in different countries and regions of the world, who will also reflect on how their personal identity impacted their experience. There will be plenty of time for questions and connecting with other students.

Program Goals: Cross-Cultural Connections is Collaborating with the Office for Overseas Programming to provide students a space to ask appropriate questions for specific information on the complexities of studying abroad while holding minoritized identities. Students will establish and maintain relationships with staff and peers who can help them as they navigate each step of their study abroad process. These connections will encourage students to utilize their time abroad to seek global cross-cultural interactions and experiences that enhance one’s understanding of people from different demographic groups and that leads to personal growth.
