This full-day professional development event will cover planning and strategies in three areas: pre-travel, while traveling, and follow-up from travel. Our featured speakers will cover key topics within these areas, such as the optics of your travel, canvassing your institution, environmental considerations of travel, self-care while abroad, making the most of your agenda, and follow-ups with trip reports, MOUs, and workplans.
