Fall 2025 Education Abroad Faculty Snack & Share Series

This fall, the Office of Education Abroad is excited to host our faculty “Snack & Share” series—a casual and collaborative space for faculty and staff to explore key topics related to faculty-led education abroad programming.

These informal, discussion-based gatherings are designed to bring together colleagues from across campus to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. Just bring your thoughts, questions, and a willingness to engage. Light refreshments will be provided for in-person sessions!

We invite you to join us for any (or all!) of the following sessions:
