Join us for our second annual Gatton Global Week, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore global business trends, international careers, and the world of possibilities that come with going abroad. This is your chance to build your global brand and get real-world insight from alumni, global business pros, and visitors from our international partner universities.
Think networking events, education abroad info sessions, and guest lectures delivered by global business leaders.
Just like internships, studying abroad gives you a serious edge. You’ll build soft skills, grow your confidence, and develop intercultural know-how that top employers are looking for.
and for each Global Week event you attend, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win one of three $1,000 education abroad scholarships.
