Every year the Centre for International Programs hosts the Study Abroad Fair to showcase the University of Guelph's study abroad programs, which include summer Field School programs and over 100 exchange opportunities.

At CIP, we realize that when students study abroad they may experience changes in their mental health. However, it is not something that we have gathered information about from our Study Abroad Alumni. With Bell Let’s Talk Day taking place on January 31st, we’d like to encourage UofG Study Abroad Alumni to provide us with insight into their mental health experiences while abroad. We will use the information gathered to create better mental health resources for future study abroad participants.
