Welcome Frances Weiner!
Frances is a Bobcat herself who traveled the abroad during her undergrad for her Spanish minor. Now, she is in her second year working at the study abroad office. Frances dove right into some of the values of an international internship: Learning a new language, working in a cross cultural setting, networking, and a resume boost!
I would LOVE to intern abroad! I’m so glad @OUEduAbroad is here to talk about it tonight! #ScrippsPRSSA

With CIS abroad internships, you have a couple different options:
- Short term program
- Short or long term with flexible start dates. (Choose your date)
- An entire semester abroad, and earn credits
So happy to see Frances speaking at #ScrippsPRSSA….I studied abroad with her that quarter and it was the BEST 3 months of college!! — Ashleigh Mavros (@ashleighmavros) October 20, 2014
Frances and her office help students wanting to study abroad figure out the logistics. Things such as placement, housing, credits, emergency support, Visa support, insurance and financial aid
I did a flexible date internship and had a roommate from Ireland, a roommate from Italy and a roommate from Finland! #ScrippsPRSSA
