If you are recently back from study abroad and you loved it, or if you are an international student who is eager to share information with Hamilton students considering studying in your home country, you should join Foreign Exposure!
Foreign Exposure is not a club, it's simply a venue for getting together with other people interested in the country you lived and/or studied in. It's a way for you to meet others familiar with the country you love, and also to help mentor and encourage students who haven't been there but are considering studying abroad. Foreign Exposure sponsors informational Foreign Exposure Hours at you can talk about your abroad experiences with other students. You are also invited to be a mentor, in which case you'll be linked to students who are outbound to "your" country.
That's up to you. Foreign Exposure hosts weekly coffee hours on Friday afternoons (or we can schedule alternative times if necessary) at which two to three returning or international students meet for an hour or two with students planning their study abroad in a particular county. You just have to be willing to talk to people who drop by Café Opus I during your coffee hour. The hosts and the drop-in students get coupons for Café Opus goodies! Mentors are asked to meet with mentees at least once around predeparture time. Your email will also be given to your mentees so that they can contact you with questions. How much interaction you have beyond the required meeting is up to you.
Just fill out the Foreign Exposure form on line or send us the one you got in your College Mailbox. We'll contact you and other students interested in sharing information about the same country to schedule a mutually convenient time.
