HUNTINGTON — Representatives from more than a dozen study aboard organizations were on-hand yesterday to inform students about opportunities to study aboard during their enrollment at Marshall University. Marshall sends approximately 150 students each year to study abroad.
“The fair is a great time for students to collect information if they are interested in going abroad at some point in their four years at Marshall,” said Kylie Gallagher, Marshall’s executive study abroad advisor. “Having a representative there to answer questions for each specific program is very helpful for students.”
Representatives on-hand included Center for International Studies, Athena Abroad, International Studies Abroad, AHA International, Amizade, Academic Programs International, Semester at Sea, American Institute for Foreign Study, Study Abroad Italy, Centers for academic Programs Abroad, Institute for Study Abroad Butler University, World Learning SIT, Returning Students from Abroad and Marshall University’s Study Abroad Office.
Survival packs including items handy for traveling were given away during the event.
