For 50 years, study abroad has been and continues to be the
most transformative experience of students’ undergraduate PC experience. The
opportunities for intercultural learning and personal development help them
acquire the values, knowledge, and skills they will need not only to be
successful in their careers, but ultimately in living purposeful lives that
will contribute in some real way to the greater world community. This display celebrates that 50 year
tradition of program excellence and student opportunity to broaden their horizons
by studying abroad.
All exhibits are open to the PC Community and the General Public for free.
