These are some of the pro tips IEDPers decided to share with prospective students on the topic of "things you wish you knew last semester." As assignments, papers and post-spring break blues hit us, I thought these are very relevant to the current cohort in mid-March! #mondaymotivation it is! #penngse #iedp #internationaleducation #internationaldevelopment #protips #selfcare

Last week, Dr. @AmeenaGK had her annual “coffee shop office hours”. She picked the cafes (all* independent coffee shops) and the times each day of last week, and then we got to pick what worked best for our schedules. We then hung out with her for an hour and chatted (she also treated us to coffee/tea). It was a nice way to catch up in a relaxed environment and get off-campus for a bit! Swipe to see where and when and def. visit these coffee shops! Monday: @metropolitanbakery Tuesday: @goodkarmaphilly Wednesday: @greenlinecafe Thursday*: The original spot @unitedbyblue was too crowded so ended up at Joe’s Cafe on campus (probably not independent but we tried!) Friday: Coffee from @milkandhoneymrkt but then enjoyed it in Clark Park since the weather was nice-ish.

We are waiting for YOU to be a part of these numbers -- and much more -- for next year's cohort! #penngse #iedp #internationaleducation #internationaldevelopment

Studying hard and celebrating hard! 📝🎉Shout out to Dr. John Gans from @perryworldhouse for making his way to our class to share insightful advice 😊, (and also to Dr. Thapa and Dr. GK who were also on the panel) and happy birthday to February and March babies🎁 #penngse #iedp #internationaleducation #internationaldevelopment #policybrief #birthdaycelebration

Spring is slowly but surely coming to Philly! Make sure to explore the city while at IEDP -- Time flies too quickly and one will regret not having spent much time enjoying the gems of the city. We will resume featuring IEDP alums around the world next week! #penngse #iedp #internationaleducation #internationaldevelopment #springishere #philadelphia

School waits for no one and it really picks up! But the IEDPers are rocking it like a pro -- Laura and Liam led class discussions during the Indigenous Ed class yesterday! PC: Ale #penngse #iedp #internationaleducation #internationaldevelopment #indigenouseducation
