Regional Information Sessions
During the first three weeks of the semester, the Office for Study Abroad will offer Regional Information Sessions. These sessions will discuss all program options for the particular region giving students an overview of the GW-approved program available for study abroad. The sessions will be led by the study abroad advisor responsible for that region and will help students narrow down program choices for study abroad. All Regional Information Sessions will be held in the Office for Study Abroad Conference Room.
*Please note that while the regional sessions will broadly discuss the GW Study Programs where applicable, students with more specific questions about the GW Study Programs in England, Paris, Madrid, and Latin America should attend a specific information session for their programs of interest.*
