The Event

While the global pandemic has severely impacted students’ plans to study abroad, is studying aboard still valuable in this age of uncertainty? A group of U.S. university center directors will gather at Yale Center Beijing on 12/26 to discuss this and other topics relevant to those who plan to study abroad. We would especially like to welcome students of all ages to join and pre-submit your most pressing questions.
