First to go Abroad

GW Office for Study Abroad

Join us for 'First (Gen) to Go Abroad', a panel discussion for interested study abroad students to connect with first-generation students.

USC 309 GW University Student Center - 3rd Floor

<p>Studying abroad can unlock a world of possibilities, yet still, so few students take advantage of the opportunity. Studying abroad may seem like a daunting or unattainable concept to first-generation students in particular. As a first-gen student, your focus may be simply to succeed in completing your degree, and you may not yet understand how studying abroad fits into that. Or maybe you've been interested but your family is nervous or doesn't understand the benefits. Studying abroad may not have been part of your initial vision for college nor something your family knew much about or pushed you to do. However, with forethought and planning, studying abroad makes you a stronger candidate for future job opportunities and can enhance your overall college experience.
</p><p>The Office for Study Abroad invites you to join us for 'First (Gen) to Go Abroad', a panel discussion for interested study abroad students to connect with first-generation study abroad returnees and others in the first-generation community at GW. We will discuss information pertinent to study abroad, including benefits you can discuss with your family, funding opportunities, navigating new visa and passport processes, and how to identify programs that meet your academic and personal interests.</p>
