Introducing the Study Abroad Newsletter
Welcome to the first edition of our newly launched Study Abroad newsletter! Postcards from Scotty will keep you in the loop on all things study abroad at CMU. You will find highlights from Tartans across the world, important dates, upcoming events and much more. We'll keep you connected with the global community!
Highlights from Summer 2023
This summer, over 100 Tartans studied, researched and worked around the globe! The TCinGC program, led by Professor Joe Mertz, connected students with technology consulting projects in Palakkad, India; Kumasi, Ghana; and Koror, Palau. JUNTOS, a student-led group, organized a service trip to la Guama in the Dominican Republic. There were Tartans studying in Japan, doing research in Switzerland, learning Spanish in Costa Rica with our Modern Languages Study Abroad Programs, and so much more! Ready to start dreaming about study abroad? Applications for internships, language study, semester, and academic year programs are now open. Learn more about the options available to you!
