<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Just a gentle reminder to all UMBC students about education abroad advising. The staff of the Study Abroad Office is happy to help students plan for the academic program overseas that best meets their academic needs and geographic interests. We do so during our regularly scheduled walk-in advising hours. We can see students during these hours <strong>only</strong>. <div><br></div><div>We also want to gently remind you that all students must attend a session of Study Abroad 101 prior to coming to walk-in hours. These sessions are held twice a week, every week, throughout the semester. They are held on Mondays at noon, Thursdays at 3:00 pm in 218 Administration. </div><div><br></div><div>If you have just a quick question, it is far better to e-mail the Study Abroad Office at &lt;sao [at] umbc [dot] edu&gt;. We strive to answer all messages within 24 hours. <br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
