Returned Students: Share Your Experience

Below are just a few examples of how you can stay involved. If you have other suggestions ideas that you feel would be beneficial to returning study abroad participants, please feel free to be in touch with us. 
 

Join the Study Abroad Ambassador Program

If you are eager to talk to other Temple students about your experiences overseas and hope to encourage more Temple students to study abroad, we have the perfect opportunity for you! We're looking for students with excellent communication, presentation, and creative skills, as well as enthusiasm for study abroad, to join our Study Abroad Ambassadors program. Becoming an Ambassador is a great way to continue processing the lessons you learned abroad and build your resume.

Study Abroad Ambassadors commit to volunteering at 2 events per semester and serving as a contact for students. Additionally, participation in the Study Abroad Ambassador training is required.

Ambassador Applications open around May and are due every year in July.
 

Volunteer at Events

We welcome proposals for various formats-–papers, panel discussions, posters, films, performances, & exhibits—organized broadly around four pillars of university excellence: scholarship, teaching, creativity, and service. Returned students are encouraged to organize their own panels and submit original work for presentation.

Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming conferences.
