Many graduate programs want students to gain "real world" experience before enrolling in their respective programs. This session will help students plan out how and where to work or volunteer abroad. Recent Pitt alumni with experience working in India, El Salvador, Ecuador and Cape Verde will share their stories and how best connect with their organizations, and Pitt staff will have resources on hand to help you to secure overseas experience. Jonnett Maurer, the Peace Corp field based recruiter will also be there to answer questions.

This Program Inaugurates the new NCTA SEMINAR SERIES. This seminar will be hte first of four seminars during the winter and spring of 2012-13. (For the other seminars, go to http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/ncta/sustainability.html.) This new format will begin with a brief presentation by the speaker to be followed by open discussion based on the questions of the participants. Therefore, it is essential that attendees read and prepare questions based on the reading(s) which will be sent to those who register.

Join our student advisor and a panel of undergraduate students in Asian Studies who have studied abroad in Japan, China, Hong Kong, and South Korea to answer questions about your own future study abroad experience!

Join us for an informative discussion on the history of U.S. involvement with Japan, the U.S.’ current “Asia Pivot” and the future of U.S.-Japan relations! Pizza will be served.
