It’s a career development opportunity allowing you to share your experience with peers, your school, and the study abroad community while building your resume and professional network. Through the program, you will be able to further reflect on your OBCR experience, learn how to better articulate your growth, and determine how to apply it to personal, professional, and academic endeavors.
