Re-Entry Reflection Workshop and Dinner Series for Recently Returned Off-Campus Programs Students

Recently returned from off-campus study and still trying to process what it all means? Let us help! Off-Campus Programs and Spiritual and Religious Life will be hosting two Re-Entry Reflection Workshops during Spring Term to help you find your way. Join us for one or both! Dinner will be included.

In our April 5 Re-Entry Reflection Workshop Coming Home you will have the opportunity to share your experience and how it shaped you. We will look at culture shock, reverse culture shock, anticipation versus expectations versus the reality, and the challenges – if any – you have faced returning home. Finally, we’ll give you some tips and tricks for how to talk about your experience and frame it in a way that your friends and family can understand. Time: 5-7 p.m. Location TBD.

On April 20, in our Re-Entry Reflection Workshop Moving On, we will help you figure out ways to apply your experience towards future opportunities: in your job search or applying for grad schools, fellowships, internships, and more! You don’t want to miss it! Time 5-7 p.m.; Location TBD.

You are invited to join us for one or both workshops, but RSVPs are required. To let us know you are coming, simply go to our Re-Entry Reflection and Workshop Series form and fill it out. If you have any questions, please contact OffCampusPrograms@lawrence.edu.
