Web chat: Study Abroad 2012–2013

Questions about study abroad? We have answers!

UW–Madison students have the option of spending a semester or a year at one of hundreds of study-abroad programs located around the world.

The university deeply believes in the value of international education, and most study-abroad participants report that their experiences are transformative and life-changing. It’s a big decision, but also a hugely rewarding one.

If you’re a student or a parent interested in learning more about options — or details such as finances, incorporating study abroad into your major, safety abroad or other logistics — we’re here to help.

International Academic Programs, the College of Engineering and the UW–Madison Parent Program are teaming up to host a live informational Web chat about study-abroad options for 2012–13.

The event will be held from 12–1 p.m. (CST) on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Panelists include:

• Jessa Boche, Study Abroad advisor
• Erin Polnaszek, Study Abroad advisor
• Lauren Worth, Study Abroad advisor
• Susan Lochner, International Academic Programs assistant director
• Joseph Halaas, School of Business
• Amanda Hammatt, director of International Engineering Studies & Program
• Patti Lux-Weber, Parent Program
• Stephanie Benson, Parent Program

Participants are encouraged to submit their own questions or simply sit back and observe the chat. For those who can’t participate in the live chat, a complete transcript will be posted the following day.

A transcript will be posted after the chat.
