2/2 - Athenaeum at 1pm - Bridging the Gap: Strengthening International Relationships through Study Abroad at WSU

Join us on Wednesday, February 2, at 1pm for “Bridging the Gap: Strengthening International Relationships through Study Abroad at WSU” presented by Vanessa Fernandez Greene and Caroline Niesen.

Vanessa Fernandez Greene and Caroline Niesen will discuss the government’s initiatives in supporting study abroad to improve U.S.-foreign relations and discuss how this impacts WSU study abroad students (particularly when they return from their experience). They will also have a panel of nontraditional (e.g., non-foreign language majors) study abroad students discuss their experiences in attempt to show the benefits of study abroad for all students.

The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the WSU Library, bluff side. The event is free and open to the public.
