About the Correspondent Program

Global Correspondents are students dedicated to sharing their experience on a Penn Abroad program with the Penn community. By sharing their writing, photography, and videos, they highlight the student experience abroad and how Penn students engage with the world during their time in an immersive, academic setting. 

Interested in sharing your experience while you are abroad? By participating in the Global Correspondents program, you can document your study abroad experience and share it with the wider Penn community via Penn Abroad’s social media channels, blog and website, plus a monetary award (subject to tax withholdings) upon successful completion of the program.
