The Annual College Study Abroad Expo
Friday, January 22, 2010
Wilson Commons, May Room and Bridge Lounge
2:00 - 4:00
The Study Abroad Expo is designed to help students learn more about overseas opportunities available to them. This year it is being co-sponsored by the Center for Study Abroad, the Office of Minority Student Affairs, the Career Center and the McNair Program.
The Expo features study abroad programs with which the University of Rochester has formal affiliations. There are information tables for all UR study abroad programs, as well as other semester, year, and summer international opportunities.
Representatives from the Financial Aid Office and The College Career Center will be on hand to advise students, and a travel agent will be present to furnish information about transportation.
Finally, study abroad returnees provide peer advising as they share stories and advice based on their own overseas studies. Refreshments complement this lively discussion of international pursuits.
Do you need to renew your current passport or apply for a new one? At the Expo a representative of the City of Rochester will be on campus with application materials. You may pick up the paperwork, or apply for a passport on the spot.
If you want to apply for a passport on January 22rd, come prepared with the following:
• Your birth certificate with raised seal OR naturalization papers OR old passport
• Your driver’s license
• Your checkbook. The fees are as follows:
Renewal - $75 (bring the old passport)
New Passport - $100 ($75 to the Feds and $25 to the City)
If you wish to expedite the passport the cost is an additional $60 and $14.85 for returning the passport via overnight delivery service. A photographer will take passport photos on-site.
