Dear Freeman Study Abroad Alumni,
Welcome back! All of us at Freeman hope that your study abroad experience was of tremendous value to you from every point of view. We hope you had the chance to go beyond sightseeing, and become acquainted with another country, another culture, and other people. We hope you allowed the influence of your study abroad experience to guide you in a positive direction.
While returning to Tulane may seem like the end to your experience, we can assure you that it is not. This time of reflection and readjustment is yet another powerful opportunity for growth.
Our Re-Entry handbook is designed to guide you in unpacking your experience abroad. It has resources that will help you incorporate your experience in your academic and professional life, market your newfound skill set, and discern opportunities to integrate your cultural and regional interests. In the handbook, you will find information on:
- Re-entry
- Tips for readjustment and reintegrating study abroad into life at Tulane
- Credit and grade transfer
- Marketing your study abroad experience to future potential employers
Regardless of the way that you use the handbook, we urge you to stay engaged as a past study abroad participant, finding meaningful ways to integrate your rich experiences abroad. There are innumerable opportunities here at Tulane and outside the University to engage cross-culturally or pursue newfound interests and passions.
We, again, warmly welcome you back. Please know our office is here to support you in this transition. We would love to hear some of you stories, chat with you, and get more information to help future students. Our doors are always open.
