Welcome Reception Recap
Last week we had our first event which was the traditional Welcome Reception. The aim was to welcome the new international students. This event was the perfect way to meet fellow domestic and international students and to learn more about studying away. There was lots of yummy food that got eaten up, and everyone voted for the winner of the Annual Study Away Alumni Photo Contest!
Photo Contest Winner
And the winner is, Lillian Jue! Lilly studied abroad in Ghana last year and took an amazing, skydiving shot. Congratulations on your win! Congratulations also to our second and third place winners too! Watch our Instagram @ssustudyaway to see the other photos that were placed and the great photo entries!
Spring Lake Recap
On Friday, 2 September, we had our first off-campus event organized by IEECthe Ambassadors. We had such a fun trip to Spring Lake in Santa Rosa. We went hiking, kayaking and we had a picnic all together. It was the perfect opportunity to get to know each other while visiting the surrounding area.
