Academic Exchange Opportunities in America
This will be a lively discussion on exchange and study opportunities in the United States. The focus will be on all available academic and professional exchanges for international students, including programs for students in Asia and the Middle East. We will give special attention to popular exchange programs such as the Fulbright, Humphrey and Gilman scholarships, as well as programs for undergraduate and high school study in America. Questions regarding English language programs, academic advising and the visa process, as well as adjusting to America and culture shock, are also welcome. Our guest presenter is Evelyn Levinson.
