What is a study abroad fair and why should I go?
A study abroad fair is a great way to learn about a variety of study abroad programs at one time. Although UMD has a diverse offerings of study abroad programs, there are many other opportunities available to you. Stop by the study abroad fair to learn about study abroad opportunities directly from program representatives.
Non-UMD Program Provider representatives (see fair participants), UMD IEO Program Coordinators, UMD faculty members, past participants from various programs, current exchange students, and UMD IEO peer advisors will be in attendance to speak with you and answer questions regarding study abroad.
NOTE: This may be your only opportunity this semester to speak in person with representatives from other programs.
This is a free event for UMD students.
When is the study abroad fair?
Thursday, September 18, 2008
9:30 am-3:00 pmWhere is the study abroad fair?
The fair is held at the Rafters in the third floor Kirby Student Center Ballroom.
No. All students attending the fair are not required to bring anything. In fact, you will have an opportunity to pick up information about programs from specific providers.
It is a good idea to bring any questions you have about studying abroad.
If you cannot make it to the study abroad fair no need to worry. IEO has plenty of knowledgeable peer advisors and study abroad advisors to help you throughout the year. Information about study abroad programs can be obtained in IEO, 138 Kirby Plaza, or on our web site.
For non-UMD programs staff can offer assistance via email or phone for any interested, or currently accepted students during the year.
Can I really go on a non-UMD program?
Yes! Any UMD student can apply for a non-UMD program.
Students participating on any non-UMD program will receive financial aid that can be applied towards their studies abroad (with the exception of tuition waivers), will receive direct credit at UMD. Further information about non-UMD programs can be found on the IEO web site.
What if I've already applied for a study abroad program?
If you've applied to a program great!
Take this opportunity to stop by the study abroad fair and ask questions from your program provider. They can assist you with forms, procedures, and even what's the next step.
Interested program providers please contact our Study Abroad Fair coordinator, Leigh Neys
