Check out some of the great murals we saw in Philly! Morning of Murals Photos

Who says you have to go to Florence for frescos? Philly is full of them! Join the Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) for a Morning of Murals. Walk historic Philadelphia, see some amazing art, visit with colleagues and learn about new scholarships for study abroad.

Meet in the lobby of the Loews Philadelphia Hotel at 7:15am on Friday, November 12 for a free FEA event, rain or shine. FEA Board members and staff will lead a casual, guided one-hour tour of Philadelphia’s famous mural mile. And you will be back in time for the first conference sessions at 9:00am. FEA will provide coffee and light snacks before the walk.

Further details will be available at the FEA table in the exhibit hall or from any of the FEA attendees. FEA will also collect individual donations at the CIEE conference. See you in Philadelphia!

Gaga for FEA!

Thanks to an anonymous donor, FEA received two pairs of tickets to the July 1st Lady Gaga concert in Boston at the TD Garden.  So we had a drawing to raise money for our student scholarships! We are  excited about and appreciative for all of the generous donations that came in from the raffle.

Congratulations to Suzanne Rommelfanger and Josephine Fatta our two lucky winners!  Have fun at the concert and thank you for supporting FEA’s scholarships.
