The Family Webinar Series is here to keep families informed on all things WashU! We know you are integral to the success of your student, so we designed this webinar series around the questions we know you are, or will be, asking. We have a great lineup of webinars scheduled throughout the year to provide valuable information about WashU.

A Conversation about Study Abroad
Wednesday, November 8 at 5:30 PM CDT

Study abroad serves as one of many opportunities available to students who are looking to gain an additional perspective in their studies, meet new people, and explore different cultures. Students studying or participating in an internship abroad can choose a program that fits within their unique interests and goals. Representatives from each undergraduate academic division – College of Arts & Sciences, Olin Business School, McKelvey School of Engineering, and Sam Fox School of Art and Design – will join us for a conversation on selecting and applying to a program, resources available, and how to support your student contemplating and/or currently studying abroad.
