The Study Abroad & Global Engagement Office is excited to host the virtual Global Engagement Expo. This three-day expo will spotlight global opportunities which include studying abroad, studying away within the United States, virtual programs, global internships, post-graduate opportunities, internationally-focused activities at CSUF, and more!

Each day we will offer live (or pre-recorded) zoom sessions highlighting international institutional partners, global programs, and activities with opportunities to ask questions to program representatives, student ambassadors, CSUF study abroad advisors, and staff. This expo will allow students to practice being a Global Titan by cultivating curiosity, appreciation and respect for all cultures and backgrounds through participation in enriching activities and experiences, engagement with diverse individuals and groups, and exposure to different ideas and opportunities to "thrive in a global environment".
