This online forum, moderated by Gilman Program staff member Randi Butler, will feature Ashley Holben from Mobility International USA at the National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange, who will be discussing study abroad opportunities for students with apparent and non-apparent disabilities. We will also hear from Lori Rezzouk, a Student Services Specialist in the Study Abroad Office at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, who will provide insight on how she supports UNC students with disabilities wanting to study or intern abroad. Lastly, we will hear from two Gilman Scholarship alumni, who will share their own personal experiences of studying and interning abroad.

This symposium will be closed captioned. Please indicate other accessibility accommodations when registering. Accessibility accommodation requests should be made by February 18, 2015.
