'Marketing Your International Experience,' a session for study abroad returnees

Study abroad returnees are invited to attend a session on "Marketing Your International Experience" offered by International Education and Career Services. This event will be held from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, in the Career Resource Center, Room 350, Murray-Herrick Campus Center. A pizza lunch will be provided.
