WHO'S ATTENDING THE FAIR?
International Partners - SUNY Brockport is excited to welcome our international partners to campus for an opportunity to speak with students, faculty and staff face-to-face. This is a great opportunity to meet a familiar face before going abroad and ask a local all there is to know about living and studying in their specific country and city.
SUNY Study Abroad Campuses - Every SUNY student has the opportunity to study abroad with any SUNY campus. Below is a list of schools that will be at the fair. Please note, if a student wishes to go with another SUNY school, they should reach out to a Brockport Study Abroad Advisor to learn of the steps they must take before doing so.
Brockport Faculty - Want to study abroad with a group of students and a Brockport faculty? Connect with our faculty to inquire about their specific program. Please note faculty may not be in attendance for the entire fair if they have a class that overlaps. Additionally, some faculty cannot be present at all due to class. Please visit the CGEE table to learn about the missing faculty and their programs.
