SHARON, Pa. — Penn State Shenango hosts the final Faculty Lecture Series of the fall semester on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 12:15 p.m. featuring Lecturer of Human Development and Family Studies Carol Cowan-Crawford as she discusses the benefits of studying abroad. 

Cowan-Crawford's talk will profile the three-week study opportunity she developed with the guidance of Penn State Global Affairs titled ‘London, United Kingdom: Adulthood and Families.’ which takes place each year in May. While in London, students will explore the area through cultural excursions, academic experiences, as well as university lectures. 

"Study abroad opportunities like our London Program are a great way for our students to experience the world outside of western Pennsylvania,” Cowan-Crawford said. “Being able to leave the traditional classroom and experience different cultures is the best way to break down barriers." 

All students, regardless of their major, are welcome to participate in the London study abroad opportunity and are encouraged to attend the lecture. 

Admission to the 2022-23 Lecture Series is free and open to the public, however, registration is required. Visitors can register at shenango.psu.edu/lectureseries.
