Current Happenings for SZ4Grads…

We have returned from summer break and are ready to plan webinars, career panels, and more for the SZ4Grads community! This week, we hosted a panel of previous participants to discuss their experiences applying to and participating in the SZNet US–Chile Exchange Program, which is being offered for the final time this year. In partnership with AndesSur, we brought participants from Chile and the United States together to answer questions about the exchange, share their experiences, and offer advice to prospective applicants. More than 20 participants based in Chile and the US who are interested in applying to the program joined the webinar, highlighting strong interest in this final exchange opportunity.


The US & Chile Exchange Webinar Panel organized by SZ4Grads and AndesSur offered an opportunity for prospective applicants to learn more about the program
