Pre-Thanksgiving UCI Travel-Study events: Start thinking about Summer 2012!
Dear CHP Students,
You are invited to a behind-the-lens look at what studying abroad was like for our newest Travel-Study alumni at our Travel-Study Photo/Video Exhibition & Mixer:
Date: Thursday, November 17
Time: 4:00-5:00pm
Location: University Extension, Bldg A, Rm. 201 (upstairs by the Summer Session office)
See how UCI Travel-Study alumni documented their summer study abroad experience through film and video. From the beautiful landscapes they saw to the culture they experienced and the friends that they made, you’ll get a behind-the-lens look at what studying abroad was like for them. Winning photos and videos from this summer’s contest will be revealed and on display. You will also take home a pre-released copy of our new 2012 Travel-Study catalog to take home for the Thanksgiving holiday (daydreaming encouraged!). International refreshments will be served.
Following this grand event, join us for 2012 program information sessions on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd
Meet 2011 Travel-Study alumni like Symone who traveled to Chile, “In all honesty, the 5 weeks I spent studying abroad in Chile… it was all truly the best time of my life. Literately everyday I felt like I was living life to the fullest and trying to embrace every moment or opportunity I could. Everyday there was an enriching learning experience from being immersed into another culture, a different language, different traditions, interacting with diverse people, but most of all… learning to have a new appreciation of life itself.”
