GOCI understands the challenges one faces when readjusting to one's home culture. Early in the fall and spring semesters, GOCI welcomes students back to campus by offering several re-rentry sessions. These sessions include informal conversations over pizza, exercises, and games to tease out lessons-learned, a presentation to the community, help with incorporating the study abroad or away experience into either a professional cover letter or application to graduate school and support for unpacking and digesting one's abroad experience.
