Transitioning Home: Making the Most of Your Study Abroad Experience
Welcome to the website for the Indiana Returned Student Conference for returned study abroad students from any college or university in Indiana.
Why should you come?
The Indiana Returned Student Conference is a time for returned study abroad students to share their experiences abroad, to learn from each other, and to begin planning for the future of their international connections.
1) You'll have a chance to share your experience with others that have lived abroad as well as discuss how you have changed and what your time abroad has meant to you.
2) You'll learn about "selling" your study abroad experience to potential employers and be able to talk with representatives from a variety of international careers and volunteer organizations.
3) You can explore ways to continue learning about other cultures and how you can go overseas again.
