Global Connections Mixer Events

The Global Connections Mixer is a monthly event series that brings together students at every stage of the study abroad journey—whether you’re just curious, preparing to go, or recently returned. Each mixer explores a different theme, from navigating academics and wellness abroad to building community, celebrating identity, and reflecting on global experiences.

With activities, conversations, and opportunities to meet peers and international students, the series creates a space to share stories, ask questions, and connect across cultures. Snacks and interactive activities keep things casual, while each month’s focus offers practical insights to help students thrive before, during, and after their time abroad.

November Global Connections Mixer: Stretch, Move, and Study Abroad

Planning to study abroad in 2026 or just beginning to explore your options? Join Education Abroad and Campus Rec for a wellness-focused workshop designed to support both your mental and physical well-being as you prepare for life abroad.

We'll explore how staying active can ease the transition to a new environment, helping with things like jet lag, culture shock, and homesickness. You'll learn simple movement techniques, practical self-care strategies, and ways to stay grounded while studying overseas.

Enjoy international snacks, fun giveaways, and a casual Q&A with our Peer Advisors at the end of the session—a great opportunity to get honest insights and ask your study abroad questions.

Register by Wednesday, November 12 for a chance to win an International Owl Travel Kit! (Must be present to win.)
