This event took place on  November 18, a recording is available here.

The Bob Graham Center for Public Service, the home of UF’s International Studies major, has planned a special event during International Education week. Join us on Thursday, November 18, at 2 pm for “Gators Going Global: Living and Working Abroad” in the O’Neill Reading Room and via Zoom.

With Beyond120, we’re bringing together three global Gators via Zoom for an ‘ask me anything’ conversation about their careers abroad.

These Gator Grads will tell us about various opportunities for internationally focused careers, internships, fellowships and more. They’ll also give out tips and insights about how students can better plan their time at UF and discover international opportunities available to them.
