Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWB

Blog Post #3 Naomi Logrono

For my third blog post, I had to go a career fair/enrichment workshop. I decided to go to the intern or work abroad fair with my friends Riley, Sage and Breyahna. In the conference room, there were tables neatly set up in the room with different types of programs to help you work or intern abroad. I took a selfie with the CIS abroad book they gave me because it was the only one I could find. The stations had many types of information on how to go abroad. You could study intern or work and you would be able to be there for however you want or for a specific amount of time. Some of the programs were affordable and even if they weren’t you could get scholarships or funds to send you abroad. I was really surprised about this because I wouldn’t have to pay out of pocket if I wanted to study abroad. I think that it’s really amazing people want to give students opportunities to go away and experience different cultures as they study and work for their own benefit. Not a lot of people have this opportunity and the fact that there are fairs like this are great to expand your connections with others. All of these study abroad programs had options to go to places in South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. It is an amazing thing for those who want to go away and experience different cultures. Even if you don’t like going to these types of events you can always get a bunch of free things to fulfill your desires. I got a bunch of candy and I enjoyed talking

to all of the people there. There were also student representatives, and surprisingly I was familiar with one of them. She is part of the E-Board of Japan club. I think it’s really cool even students want to help in student career fairs.
