December 2023
Winter Break is Calling
Winter is coming! The days are getting colder, snow will soon be falling, and the semester is coming to an end. Which means winter break is right around the corner! It's also a great time to apply for summer and fall semester study abroad programs. Remember, our team is here to help and will be available for appointments even after the semester ends. As a reminder, the Study Abroad office will be closed from Dec. 23 to Jan. 2. We look forward to working with you in the new year. Wherever your studies take you, we'll see you there!
Student Spotlight
Heidi Tao (DC '26) spent last summer at the Waseda Summer Session in Tokyo, Japan and says "First-year summer is a great option for studying abroad! Especially if you are worried about not being able to finish CMU courses or falling behind on internships. Also, taking some language courses of the target country before going is very fun and useful." Many universities around the world have summer programs, and there are programs abroad offering experiential coursework in many fields, including music, art, sustainability, STEM fields, and more!
Technology Consulting in the Global Community
Learn, share, grow! If you're looking for a summer internship experience like no other, consider the Technology Consulting in the Global Community (TCinGC) program! Through this internship, students gain consulting experience with international or domestic partners and make an impact.
Applications for summer 2024 are currently open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as students graduating in May. Want to apply? Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but priority will be given to students who apply by Dec. 31. Learn more and apply today!
Modern Languages Summer Study Abroad
Dreaming of a chance to brush up on your language skills? Consider a summer abroad with the Modern Languages Department! Every summer, CMU Modern Languages offers programs in five locations around the world. Earn academic credit over the summer (up to 36 units) studying Arabic, Chinese, German, or Spanish abroad with CMU's Modern Language Department Programs. Programs are typically four to eight weeks long. Applications for summer 2024 will open in December; learn more about the program and apply.
Important Reminders and Upcoming Events
As the semester winds down, we'd like to remind anyone returning from a study abroad trip at the end of this semester to request their transcripts! You might also want to check out our resources and reminders for returning home and navigating re-entry to help make the transition process easier. Also, save the date for the Welcome Back Reception on Jan. 18, 2024, from 4 to 6:30 p.m., more details to follow!
