On Monday, August 27, 2012, the 5th Annual CGE Study Abroad Photo Contest will kickoff in the Johnson Center, Gallery 123. An official Welcome Week Event, last year more than 100 people attended. Please come early to enjoy the free food before it's gone. You'll also have an opportunity to meet study abroad alumni and cast your vote for your favorite study abroad photos! Immediately following the contest kickoff will be an International Career Panel from 7 to 8 p.m. in a location on campus TBD. The goal of the panel is to give you access to local professionals who will share with you the connection they see between study abroad and their successful international careers. Potential panelists include a former ambassador, an agent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and a representative from the Peace Corps.

On Tuesday, November 13, 2012 the Inaugural Student Summit on Global Education will also take place in the Johnson Center on Tuesday November 13, 2012. More details coming soon.

We know the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend is a popular time for people to spend with their families and make future travel plans, so please safely enjoy the long holiday weekend and stay in touch!
