Impact of Exchange: Stories from U.S. Exchange Alumni is a traveling, open-air photography exhibit that combines public art with storytelling. The exhibit is funded by the Office of Alumni Affairs and is implemented by Global Ties U.S. in collaboration with Photoville and Global Ties Idaho. By highlighting the photographs and stories of U.S. citizen Exchange Alumni, this exhibit aims to inspire audiences to become future exchange participants. The exhibit is taking place in only a few cities across the United States and we are proud that Boise was chosen as one of the host cities. Visit the exhibit at your own time to find out more about how YOU can participate in US Exchange programs and travel the world!
