Virtual Engagement Events

The Arcadia Abroad team has enjoyed meeting with friends from partner institutions both on Arcadia’s campus and while visiting campuses across the country. These visits helped us  get to know one another and gave us the chance to share more about how we can work together to support your institutional goals.

While much has changed, our commitment to working with our partners has not. Sadly, getting together in person has become increasingly challenging. We’re happy to share that we’ve developed a full schedule of virtual opportunities for you to learn more about Arcadia Abroad and to get to know our team. Whether you're a student, a study-away advisor, or a faculty member, there should be a session to meet your needs.

We value the relationships we've developed over the years and look forward to welcoming you online to continue building them.

Don't see what you're looking for? Let us know how we can help, or feel free to reach out to a member or our institutional relations team.
