Study Abroad Country Dialogue Series. The Office of Study Abroad will hold a series of free country-specific lectures to delve more deeply into the background of the countries where our students are preparing to study abroad, in an effort to help them make the most out of their experience abroad.  Likely topics to be addressed include the political, socioeconomic, cultural and community life of the country, as well as a brief history and any current hot topics in the region/country.  Guest lecturers will come from colleges and departments across the University of Arkansas campus.  International students and past study abroad students will also be on hand to offer an inside look at living and studying abroad. All interested students, staff, faculty and community members are welcome to attend these lectures.

English Teaching Opportunities While Studying Abroad through USAC in Spain & Italy. Mark your calendars! On Tuesday, April 9 from 3:30-4:30pm in the Office of Study Abroad, Ibon Zamanillo, on-site director for USAC in Bilbao, Spain, will talk about USAC’s paid English teaching opportunities at all four USAC program sites in Spain (Bilbao, San Sebastián, Alicante, and Madrid) and in Viterbo, Italy. USAC has made an agreement with an association of private schools in the area, so that our students can work as conversation assistants to English teachers in those schools. Teaching assignments depend on availability and scheduling restraints and can go from 3 to 6 hours a week (usually 150 to 300 EUR/month but up to 600 EUR/month, depending on schedule). This is a great opportunity to meet and collaborate with local people, enhance your working experience and resume, and also earn money! To RSVP, go to https://www.facebook.com/events/525131084195814/
