The Center for Global Studies at Penn State

Only a few left in the semester! You don’t wanna miss this

If you are looking for something to get involved with on campus, look into joining the Global Leaders at Penn State newsletter! This is a great way to get leadership and resume experience!

From discovering careers in the romance languages, to navigating the federal government job market, to learning how to advocate for yourself in a job search, to pursuing educational opportunities following graduation, the array of events scheduled throughout the week will help you explore your interests, gain practical skills, and connect your liberal arts education to the array of meaningful opportunities available to you.

I invite you to attend as many of the workshops, panels, and activities being offered by Student Services as you can to discover your interests, pursue your passions, and embolden your future. Check out the Liberal Arts website for a detailed description of activities each day!

Bring a friend, join in conversation, or just enjoy some chai!
