This fair is for students who have thought about or are considering…
- volunteering, teaching, internships or short-term work abroad
- an internationally-focused career
- funding for an international experience
Nearly 50 MSU international units and external international organizations provided information and resources about internships, volunteer, work and teaching abroad, internationally-focused careers, and funding sources for international experiences. This fair complements the semi-annual study abroad fairs, but does not showcase classroom-based study abroad offerings.
