Study abroad programs, volunteer opportunities and internships.

Montana State University's Office of International Programs will host a spring Study Abroad Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb.11, in Ballrooms B and C of the MSU Strand Union Building.The Study Abroad Fair provides students with initial contacts and information for summer, semester and year long study abroad programs, volunteer opportunities and internships.

I encourage all students to stop by the fair and check out the variety of abroad opportunities available to them, said Amy Johnson, adviser and outreach coordinator for the Office of International Programs study abroad program. It's a great starting off point - students can pick up brochures, speak with past study abroad students, ask questions, and sign up for info sessions.I can say with confidence that studying abroad has taught me more about the world and myself than anything else I've experienced, said Sam Kittendorf, MSU senior who studied abroad at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.
