The Swanson School of Engineering (SSOE) Global Experiences and Engagement Office has a team to help you find the right global experience for your time here in SSOE! We have both professional staff members and peer advisors to help you along the way. Our goal is to ensure you are confident during all phases of your global experience: when selecting your program, during your time away from campus, and support for once you return.
Not sure where to start when picking a global experience? Chat with one of the Global Experiences and Engagement Office’s peer advisors! Peer advisors are current SSOE students who have participated in one (or more!) global experience. Stop by the Big Orange Desk to sign in for walk-in hours with our peer advisors or find them tabling around Benedum Hall.
After your initial discussions with a peer advisor or if you’ve narrowed your program options, make an appointment with one of our professional staff.
