Please encourage students to attend the annual Study Away Fair on Tuesday, September 4, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in E. H. Butler Library 210. At this event, students will be able to speak with representatives of the National Student Exchange and overseas programs administered by Buffalo State and other SUNY campuses, find out how financial aid applies to off-campus study, receive information on scholarships that are available, and learn about internships and work abroad.

Buffalo State regularly offers programs in Australia, China, England, Italy, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Quebec and Spain as well as other short-term programs that vary from year to year. 

Study-abroad advisers from other SUNY campuses will be on hand to provide details of some of the more than 400 SUNY programs in nearly 60 countries.

Students visiting the fair will receive "passports" that they will have stamped when visiting the various program booths. The stamped passports will then be deposited for a drawing to win prizes, including a $100 Visa gift card, travel guides, and more.

Free refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by the International Education and Special Programs (National Student Exchange) offices.
