Date and Time
Wednesday, February 20, 2019 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Description
Join us and hear stories from Lakers around the globe!
The book First Around the World contains more than essays by students
describing their experiences while studying abroad. It gives insight
into their fears, challenges and triumphs as the first people in their
families to travel overseas.
The GVSU campus community is invited to attend a book launch
reception set for February 20 from 5-7 p.m. in the Kirkhof Center,
room 2204. Several of the book's authors will give readings and sign
books. Refreshments will be served and the book will be available to purchase.
First Around the World also marks a collaboration between TRIO
Student Support Services and Padnos International Center. Since 2014,
the departments have partnered to promote study abroad opportunities
to students who participate in TRIO programs.
Books will be available for purchase and signing by the
authors.
Proceeds to benefit TRIO Scholarships & TRIO
Passport Scholarships.
