-How to market yourself in a job interview

-Graduate school opportunities

-Volunteering and/or working abroad (both short and long-term)

-How to help others traveling abroad

-And more!

To submit a proposal, please email the following to nereentryconference@gmail.com:

-Names and titles of intended presenters (please keep it between 3-4 presenters)

-Tentative title of your session

-A one paragraph description of your session

-Brief bio of each of the presenters

Please keep in mind that these sessions are going to be 45 minutes in length and that your audience will be students who have recently returned from a study abroad program.  Proposals are due by August 10, 2012 so that we can be in touch the following week to let you know if you will be presenting.

Thank you in advance and we look forward to seeing you in September!
