Happy New Year, Yellow Jacket Parents! The Office of International Education is excited to start a new year with you and your students! Around here the New Year gets under way quickly and that starts with academic year, fall, and summer study abroad deadlines—many of which occur in early February (individual program details can be found here). Now is a great time for your student to make an appointment with a Study Abroad, Global Internship, and the International Plan advisor to answer any questions and get them started. There are also a number of events for your students to get started with a variety of different international opportunities:
International Opportunities Open House
January 24, 1:30 – 4 p.m., Student Center Peachtree Room
Students are invited to meet with OIE’s Peer Advisors to ask questions about study abroad programs, Global Internships, and the International Plan. For more information, visit http://oie.gatech.edu/.
