The Office for Education Abroad is excited to announce the annual Education Abroad Expo will be held on October 5, 2023 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Breslin Center.
The Expo allows students to explore their options by talking with program directors, representatives from partner institutions, former participants, and staff from support units all in one place.
As leader of an MSU Student Organization, you are in a unique position to help spread the word how education abroad can play a role in student success.
Education abroad gives students the opportunity to gain critical skills they need to succeed after graduation – leadership, collaboration, flexibility and more. Their experiences abroad can help prepare them to solve environmental and humanitarian global crises like food insecurity, climate change, and discrimination.
We’d appreciate it if you would encourage your members to attend the Expo and explore adding an education abroad experience to their MSU career. They have already demonstrated they are active students who are committed to making the most of their college experience.
Thanks for your help and hope you’ll stop by the Expo yourself!

The purpose of the conference is to create a forum where African and Africanist scholars discuss the future of Africa. This year’s conference builds upon past AGSA conferences which sought to engage scholars from across campus and beyond in discourse surrounding developmental challenges, the potential solutions for Africa, and action towards sustainable development. This year’s conference seeks to emphasize forward-thinking and solution-driven research geared towards addressing global challenges and celebrating advancements. We are honored to have Ambassador Hilda Suka-Mafudze, the African Union Ambassador to the United States as our keynote speaker.
