If you are a student at York University, Ryerson University or the University of Toronto, and you have recently returned from exchange, internships or study abroad, then you are invited to join the award-winning "What Now?!" Re-Entry Conference!
This annual re-entry conference is co-organized by three of Ontario's largest universities - York University, Ryerson University and University of Toronto, and is hosted at the Go Global Expo.
Meet fellow exchange participants, alumni, and representatives from each University to share your cross-cultural experiences, discuss coping with reverse culture shock and determine what is next for you after your international experience. We will help you investigate next steps, identify the skills and knowledge you have obtained and discuss how to use your experience to move forward in your career and academic life.
