Turkish Flagship Program

Each spring, the Turkish Flagship hosts study abroad orientation and brunch for students who will be studying abroad during the summer or academic year. This year, five students who will be studying abroad in Turkey and Azerbaijan with Boren, CLS, and ARIT awards joined the Turkish Flagship’s assistant director, Amy Jensen, for a delicious brunch and a discussion on living abroad. Students enjoyed a delicious, cross-cultural breakfast, which featured pancakes, pita bread and hummus, and authentic Turkish tea. Students who had studied in Azerbaijan shared their advice for navigating a new cultural and customs. In addition, Amy shared her advice from her experiences living in Turkey. Students enjoyed hearing one another’s study-abroad stories and advice, and left the brunch feeling excited for the travels ahead!
