**This event was originally scheduled for January 29, but it has been postponed to February 19 due to weather.**

Join us for a conversation with Pitt students who have participated in diverse experiential learning opportunities. Hear what inspired them, how these experiences helped internationalize their degrees, and the impact on their personal, academic, and professional growth. Facilitated by Dr. Abdesalam Soudi, this session will include audience engagement to share experiences and explore ways to get involved. Students, faculty, and administrators alike are invited to contribute to this dialogue on enriching experiential global learning.

Pitt undergraduate students can earn Global Distinction credit for attending.

A light lunch will be served. Attendees are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle.
