The Study Abroad Symposium is a conference-style event where study abroad program alumni and current/former faculty directors will host sessions and presentations about the learning, intercultural experiences, growth, and impact that occurred during or as a result of participation in their respective programs. Join us to dive deep into the pressing global topics and intercultural development that make up the core of study abroad programs! Light refreshments will be provided.
We know you have stories to share about your time abroad!
Share them with your fellow Flames by writing for One World Journal, a UIC student organization.
