For Alumni: Resources to Keep in Touch
For Alumni

The end of your study abroad semester, summer or year doesn’t always mean the end of your international experiences. Many students choose to return abroad for graduate school, a summer study abroad program, or for work or volunteering.

Past participants also like to keep in touch with each other and with IFSA-Butler and to share information about our program with family and friends. No matter what your international future holds, we hope this section will be a helpful resource for you!

 
Join the IFSA-Butler Alumni Network on Facebook!

IFSA-Butler's new Alumni Network helps you stay connected with other alums and IFSA-Butler staff, and allows you to share your knowledge with prospective students. Our Facebook network is just getting started, and we can use your help to populate the content. We are excited to see what you have to contribute!

We have an Alumni Facebook page and Alumni Facebook groups. The Facebook page is a platform to stay up-to-date on international opportunities, job and intern opportunities, alumni gatherings, and other IFSA-Butler happenings. This is also the place for you to contribute photos, videos and stories from abroad as a means of reaching out to students everywhere.

The groups are for alumni only. Here you can keep in touch with those you studied abroad with and with our resident staff abroad, and share stories, pictures, favorite recipes, blogs or anything else about your time abroad that excites you. Follow the link above to join the Alumni Network and you'll be directed to a group specific to your host country.

Did you know only 2% of American college students study abroad? Prospective students always want to hear more about alumni experiences, and this is where you can encourage them to study in a country you love.

If you have questions about the Alumni Network or if you're interested in hearing more about ways to stay involved, email us at alumni@ifsa-butler.org.
