Learning about other cultures is one of the central goals of studying abroad. This workshop will deal with strategies students can use to hasten cultural adaptation and have more successful intercultural interactions. We will talk about appreciating the nuances of culture, being more mindful of how you come across, and having the tools to deal with the stages of cultural adjustment.

This workshop is mandatory for all students studying abroad in Summer or Fall 2014.

You have heard that studying abroad makes you more marketable. That is true – but to make yourself truly stand out, you must have more to offer than just the fact that you have studied overseas. This workshop will offer suggestions and recommendations for how you can incorporate career-enhancing projects/activities during your time abroad. Using examples, you will be able to see how these extra projects can enhance your resume, make your interviews more interesting, and make your cover letter more compelling.
