Study Abroad Photo and Essay Contests

MSU is proud to have one of the nation's largest study abroad programs spanning the world and helping to build international understanding through education. Our annual photo and essay contests aim to capture the essence of study abroad, by encouraging students either to capture through photography or write creatively about the unique living and learning experiences study abroad provides.
