Students can explore study abroad opportunities at the Study Abroad
Fair, hosted by the Padnos International Center, on September 18 in
the Kirkhof Center, Grand River Room, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Kyle Latchana, study abroad assistant outreach coordinator, said
study abroad "takes classroom courses and learning to an entirely
different level."
"Students gain new insights into cultural awareness, global
perspectives and how their knowledge can be applied worldwide,"
Latchana said.
Program directors, past participants and academic advisors will be
available to answer questions.
The international center hosted the Global Laker Festival earlier in
the month. Several games were scattered around the Kirkhof Center lawn
and informational booths were staffed by study abroad, Modern
Languages and Literatures, Global Studies and the GVSU Art Gallery.
Alissa Lane, international programs specialist, said these two
September events aim to increase awareness of other cultures and
perhaps develop connections among global Lakers.
The vice president for People, Equity, and Culture discusses his initial impressions of GVSU, one hobby and how he plans to bring awareness to the new division.
Through the partnership, people who earned a MIOSHA certificate can earn college credits toward a bachelor's degree in occupational safety and health management.
