Education Abroad Events

Student Workshops

Workshops and webinars are offered throughout the year to ensure students have the necessary information and tools needed to begin planning for a successful experience abroad. These offer a great way to connect with staff, as well as network with other students interested in education abroad.

Education Abroad Expo

Global Learning Conference

Participating in the Global Learning Conference gives you an opportunity to share your story about studying abroad, and learn from the experiences your fellow Spartans have around the world or right here in East Lansing.
