Returning home
Adjusting to life back home after traveling abroad can sometimes be challenging. Your student may have feelings of restlessness or difficulty connecting with those who haven’t shared the same experiences.
To help ease the transition, and to support their momentum in moving forward, a number of resources are available in their Student Portal under “Alumni Resources.” These include tips for life after their program and how to articulate their experience when applying for jobs or graduate schools.
Academic Goals
Encourage your student to explore new academic paths inspired by their time abroad, such as adding a minor or sharing their experiences with campus groups.
Personal Goals
Help your student stay connected by subscribing to international publications, practicing language skills or keeping in touch with friends and host families.
Professional Goals
Encourage your student to update their resume and LinkedIn with their international experience. They can also get involved by joining our paid Global Ambassador program or volunteering with their Study Abroad Office.
Reminder: Help your student stay connected to their international journey and turn it into future growth. Encourage your student to use campus resources like the study abroad office, career center, and academic advisors to fully integrate their international experience into their future plans.
