Foster Study Abroad Photo Contest

Each year at the Global Business Center, we collect photos from students and alumni to showcase all the ways the Foster community is engaging with the world beyond our beautiful campus. Through your photo or video submissions, you will help future students get a taste of what it actually looks like to study abroad! Share your Husky pride, a day in the life as a study abroad student, or a favorite travel memory. We want to see it all!
