About this Event
This event is intended to help those who have thought about traveling or studying abroad but may be intimidated by the unknowns, learn more about the pros and cons from others that look like them.
Studying abroad gives students the opportunity to gain experiences that will expand their global perspective, enhance their problem solving skills, and make them more competitive with their "counterparts" for future employment opportunities. It all starts with stepping out of their comfort zone.
And if studying or traveling abroad seems like something in your future, why not take one of the first steps by staying for our passport workshop.
This event is free and open to the public with registration. It is a great opportunity for ages 16 and up to start or continue their journey of expanding black excellence.
