All students are welcome! Join Mya Peters, Midwest Campus Engagement Representative for Diversity Abroad in the Gizmo for a discussion about financing study abroad. This is an opportunity for conversation about scholarships and other financial considerations related to study abroad (saving up for visa costs; anticipating the costs of vaccinations and medical checkups; estimating living costs abroad).

Please feel most welcome to stop by to greet Mya, to sit with her over the lunch period or to talk with her about Diversity Abroad resources (including scholarship opportunities) after grabbing your lunch in the caf. She will be at one of the larger tables in the Gizmo! We'll have a sign for the table so you will know where to find her.
