A message from the Spring 2018 International Honors Program: Social Innovation undergraduate abroad cohort to the wonderful staff facilitating an educational, eye-opening, and adventured-filled program in São Paulo, Brazil.

Twice a year, regional conferences are held to bring together college students, particularly Resident Assistants or students active in Residential Life at their institutions, from universities across the region to network and host programs designed to teach students valuable social, emotional, mental, and professional lessons through fun and engaging activities.
