International Opportunities Day was held Tuesday, September 27th in McMillan Hall. UPEI faculty, past UPEI exchange students, as well as current exchange visitors all helped to share their experiences with other students who were considering an international exchange. The UPEI International Office provided on site support, with the help of information packages offered by our partners. The event also featured guest speaker, Jean-Marc Hachey, the author of "The Big Guide to Living and Working Overseas." He gave an interesting and informative presentation about the opportunities that exist abroad, and how students can go about finding these opportunities. Students of all faculties were welcomed to come out and enjoy free food, international music, and find out about all of the interesting opportunities that UPEI has to offer!
