Welcome Home

Welcome Sign
We are glad to have you back. Please pay attention to announcements about the re-entry orientation, dinner parties, and other opportunities for you to catch up with classmates, professors, and informing others about your study abroad experience. Whether or not you are happy to be back, everyone will experience some form of reverse culture shock. If you find the re-adjustment process to be quite difficult, we strongly encourage you to seek assistance. The counseling center at Davidson College is also a valuable resource for you. Students are provided with free counseling sessions. Appointments are confidential and can be made by calling 704-894-2451.

Be patient with yourself and get involved with activities that allow you to build on your study abroad, while facilitating the re-entry process. We hope the suggestions below can help.
  • Stay in touch with friends you made overseas
  • Attend events sponsored by the Dean Rusk Office
  • Write about your overseas experience for the Toilet Paper or the Davidsonian
  • Get involved with SAC or DIA on campus
  • Process your thoughts with a counselor
  • Take an interest assessment at Career Services
  • Speak with alumni working abroad or on international issues
  • Talk with individuals in the Center for Civic Engagement
  • Apply for a Dean Rusk Grant and go abroad again!  For more information, please contact Mallika Kirti
