Summaries

Summary Sentence: Student presentations and panel discussion on the role of international experience in their education

Full Summary: International Plan students from a variety of disciplines will make both oral and poster presentations exploring the role of their global and educational experiences in the context of their academic and professional goals.

International Plan students from a variety of disciplines will make both oral and poster presentations exploring the role of their global and educational experiences in the context of their academic and professional goals. Our students strive to develop "global competence" through a combination of experiences that include language acquisition, completing six months of international experience, and completing globally-oriented coursework, all of which are integrated into their respective academic disciplines. Symposium participants will showcase the interesting things they've learned and accomplished while in the program. Please come join us! Panel discussion will follow and a hot buffet will be served.

About the International Plan:
The International Plan is a challenging four-year program that works in tandem with an undergraduate's academic curriculum to produce globally competent citizens. Successful completion of the program results in a special "International Plan" designation on the Georgia Tech degree and transcript.

The International Plan utilizes existing study, work, and research abroad opportunities available through the Office of International Education, and the Division of Professional Practice to help students fulfill their requirements. Students who participate in the International Plan have all of these resources at their disposal.
