International Week will be held from Monday, April 21 through Friday, April 25. On Monday, April 21 Jean-Marc Hachey, an authority on international career building strategies and author of The Big Guide to Living and Working Overseas will be the kick-off speaker for International Week activities on campus. Hachey will offer two seminars for students and the public on April 21 free of charge.

The first seminar, Developing Global Career Skills, will be held between from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m. in the Petit Salon. This seminar offers advice for anyone considering going abroad to study, volunteer, intern, teach, work, or travel. The presentation focuses on ‘how-to’ skills to maximize success overseas, gain international experience and build an international I.Q. The second seminar is focused on the nuts and bolts of working abroad. The International Job Search targets practical skills for learning how to sell skills and writing international resumes. This seminar builds on the first and those who are interested are encouraged to attend both. The second seminar will be held from 2:00 to 3:45 p.m. in the Petit Salon.
