Welcome Back.What’s next?<\/h3>\n

Readjusting to life back in New Jersey and at Ramapo College can be a difficult process for those students returning from a study abroad experience. Students have a variety of experiences with the re-entry process. It is one of the crucial objectives of the Roukema Center for International Education to meet the Academic, Professional, Emotional, and Cultural needs of RCNJ students through various on-campus events, workshops, programs, and additional resources. We want you to achieve a successful re-entry experience. Now that you have studied abroad and experienced some transformation, let’s maximize the benefits and minimize the challenges of returning to U.S. culture.<\/p>\n
