Essays: We require that you submit a concise essay (approx. 750-1000 words) discussing an experience or experiences you had while abroad. It should be based upon your reflections of what you have seen and learned while overseas. Please write something original and interesting! We are open to new ideas and different genres as long as the work is well-considered and well-written. For some ideas and inspiration take a look at some sample essays.

Photos: We also require that you submit one photograph of yourself taken during your trip. Your photo can be of you at a landmark in IU gear (IU shirts, hats, etc), or with friends you are traveling with or whom you've met during your travels, or of you with your host family. Take a look at some photos already submitted on our online photo gallery. Be sure to re-name your photo(s) with a descriptive yet brief caption! (ie. instead of the default "IMG_012345" rename it to something descriptive like "enjoying a cup of hot chocolate at the South Pole, Antarctica").*
*note: to re-name your photo: 1) click on your photo icon once to highlight it; 2) press the F2 key; 3) start typing*
(for Mac users: click and drag over the default name of your photo, then start typing)
