The world is growing increasingly more connected each day. How can you prepare yourself for a global education, study abroad experiences, and navigate the array of international pathways in life beyond college? The 2022 Global Opportunities Expo can give you a starting point!

On behalf of the KU Area Studies Centers and Donnelly College, it is our honor to invite you to the Global Opportunities Expo, an annual event that introduces students to academic and study abroad programs, careers, initiatives, and intriguing ideas that should inspire all of us to think and act globally.

The 2022 Global Opportunities Expo will also feature students and faculty from regional schools as part of: a Pan African Fashion Show; various student panels about the intersections of identity and global travel, language study experiences, study abroad or field research experiences; bite-sized research presentations designed to teach you something interesting about the world (also known as “crash courses”); spoken word performance (poetry, personal essay, etc.); and music/dance performances.

This online event is open to everyone with special emphasis on junior high level and above students and individuals hoping to increase their knowledge and broaden their pathways as global citizens.
