The CGIS Brief provides a space where CGIS staff and prospective study abroad students can have an opportunity to connect on various topics as a way to encourage students to start thinking more about their time abroad prior to departure. Topics range from working out abroad and food culture to navigating study abroad during a pandemic, scam and fraud abroad, and so much more! We encourage everyone to ask questions throughout the conversation or share any insights of their own. Each event is co-run and co-facilitated by the CGIS Brief Team. The CGIS Brief will be held the third Thursday of each month at 3:00pm EST on Zoom during the Fall & Winter semesters (during the academic year while classes are in session, with the exception of holidays).

Upcoming Topics:
September 15: Internships, Research, and Volunteering: Engaging outside the classroom

October 20: Overcoming Challenges of Study Abroad: Talking to Parents/Guardians, Housing in A2, and Budgeting Abroad!
