The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Office of International Education (OIE) is hosting the 2018 Fall Study Abroad Fair from noon to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, at Reeve Ballroom (second floor).

The event is intended for anyone considering the opportunity to study or intern abroad or in the U.S., away from the UW Oshkosh campus.

“Students should think seriously about studying abroad,” said Mary Reinke, OIE  senior program manager. “One of the most important and life-changing experiences you can do while in college is to study abroad.”

UW Oshkosh offers more than 50 group programs for students to choose from, with a wide range of program costs starting at $700. Students may consider short-term interim programs led by UWO faculty, semester programs, Quest III programs, internships and volunteer programs.

Reinke encourages students to start planning early by attending the Study Abroad/Away Fair. They will have the chance to talk to program representatives and students who have already studied abroad and select a program that is perfect for them.

UW Oshkosh participates in the National Student Exchange, allowing students to study away in the U.S. or in Canada at more than 170 institutions.

Other UW System International Offices will be represented at the fair, as well as independent organizations that offer study, volunteer and intern abroad programming.

The fair provides a fun, casual, open-house atmosphere with the chance to check out study-abroad opportunities offered by UW Oshkosh, other UW schools and study-abroad companies.

Reinke said financial aid is often available for programs, subject to a student’s eligibility.
