IE@Q-Study Abroad: Culture, Self-Discovery, and Identity Stories

The opportunity of studying abroad appeals to many students at Queen’s. Immersing yourself in a new academic, cultural, and often a new linguistic environment is a chance for immense growth of personal and academic nature. This growth also affects our identities- we enter our host cultures with pre-established identities and during our time abroad we may experience changes affecting us in many ways. Do we come back the same person we once were? In this panel, we will discover stories of students who went on an exchange and learn how this experience shaped them.

Moderator: Dr. Margaret Maliszewska, Exchange Coordinator for the Faculty of Arts and Science, Office of the Vice-Provost International

Panelists: Hanna Slowikowska (4th year BAH-BED, History major); Rebecca Star (4th year BAH, Psychology major); Lauren Zweerink (4th year BAH, Political Science major)
