On Thursday, May 4, undergraduate students participating in one of seven 2023 PIIRS Global Seminars gathered in the atrium of the Louis A. Simpson International Building for a pre-departure barbecue. Departing students met with faculty leaders, and enjoyed giveaways, prizes and food.

Offered each summer, the Global Seminars teach across disciplines and make concrete connections between pedagogy and place. Since the program was launched in 2007, more than 1,000 students have taken part in more than 75 Global Seminars in Africa, East Asia, South Asia, Europe, the Near East and South America. Global Seminars are produced in partnership with departments, centers and programs across Princeton, as well as with regional studies programs housed within PIIRS. Taking a wide view of international studies, they have focused on everything from pure science to the performing arts.
