The Back2U Conference is a one-day event designed to help students transition back into life in Edmonton in a fun & interactive way.
Through activities, workshops and panel discussions, you will learn to think critically about the impact of your journey and how to use this knowledge & the unique experience gained abroad to your advantage; academically, professionally & personally.
It's a great opportunity to network with other students, as well as professionals in the workplace who have studied or worked abroad in the past.
Who should attend?
