Global Studies major, Ghay Soe is planning to host an event in partnership with the CAS Global Studies program and the Study Abroad office.
Last semester, Ghay traveled to Argentina, Spain, and South Africa to study abroad. This event will showcase a photo gallery of the places traveled to, providing informative backgrounds for each location. The images presented will consist of significant buildings, landscapes, the friendships formed, food, homestay, learning sites, culture, and more. This event is open to the Lehigh community. More specifically, it is for first-year students from all colleges interested in learning more about how they can get a global experience while attending Lehigh.
