Lessons From Abroad: Ohio

Have you heard that this year LFA is going not only virtual, but also national? Connect with peers and professionals from around the country to unpack and build upon your time abroad. Check it out!

Where did you study abroad? Save the date for the virtual LFA conference! It is free for students!

We realize these past few months have been unprecedented in all things, but particularly for international education. We at LFA Ohio are working with the national LFA community to develop meaningful ways to engage our current times and provide space for thoughtful reflection on your study away experiences. Watch for details to come!
