Former Study Abroad Students
Photo and Essay Contest
Share your photos and stories or learn about others' experiences as a part of the Photo and Essay Contest.
Share what you learned with other study abroad students. Learn how to incorporate your experience into your résumé and job interviews. Reconnect to your home campus and to international initiatives in the area. You can do it all through this study abroad site, and here’s the best place to start:
Re-Entry Assistance
This can be the most difficult time of the study abroad process and the least prepared for time. Take a look at Craig Storti’s book, “The Art of Coming Home,” for some assistance in this process.
Minnesota Re-Entry Conference
The Minnesota Re-Entry Conference happens in the fall each year and is usually hosted by a Twin Cities university. The cost is minimal and the experience is phenomenal.
Learn more about the conference at http://www.csbsju.edu/internationaleducation/home/reentryconference.htm.
Read what the 2009 St. Cloud State participants said...
“The conference exceeded my expectations!”
“I learned valuable information about including my international experience on my résumé and in interviews.”
“It was great to talk with other students who were feeling the same way I am about being home.”
“I was able to network with people I may be able to get a job with in the future.”
“It was well worth my time!”
“I wish more SCSU study abroad students had taken the time to go to the conference.”
Volunteer
Help with the Study Abroad Fair held every semester in Atwood. Email studyabroad@stcloudstate.edu with your name, program you went on, and your interest in volunteering. You can talk to potential study abroad participants about your program and experience.
Get Involved On-Campus
Get involved with the International Student Association or Global Horizons (a business student organization with a global focus) to continue your interest in cultural learning. There are cultural nights and cultural programs happening all the time on campus that you can help plan and meet people from all over the world right here on your very own St. Cloud State campus. Get involved!
