The Office of Global Affairs and the John Hope Franklin Center will host a “Global Block Party” on Monday, Sept. 9, offering students a chance to explore international resources, research prospects and funding opportunities.

The event, scheduled from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the East Backyard Quad (between Randolph and Gilbert-Addoms residence halls), will connect students with faculty and staff involved in global initiatives. Students can learn how to enrich their academic journeys through international experiences.
