Study Abroad Fair Inspires Students to Think Globally
September 23, 2024
Galloway, N.J. – According to the Office of Global Engagement, the idea that studying abroad is an experience exclusive to the most privileged of students is not only a myth but a harmful one at that.
“I want students to know that education abroad can be accessible, affordable and for every student,” said Patty Sagasti-Suppes, the office’s director.
She made her point by simply gesturing to the jam-packed hallway of the Campus Center, where Thursday, Sept. 19’s Study Abroad Fair took place.
Tables lined the hallways as students perused and received resources from representatives of different education abroad agencies, including Semester at Sea and the Center for International Studies.
The meeting rooms hosted workshops that explored topics including passport and visa processes, programs that enable students and faculty to study abroad – such as the Benjamin A. Gilman and Fulbright programs – and how to advise students on best practices as a staff or faculty member.
