The Ambassadors are working with Global Initiatives staff to promote study abroad opportunities through a variety of creative initiatives and events throughout the academic year.
Current Study Abroad Ambassadors
The following study abroad programs are programs that our ambassadors have participated in. Keep in mind that most of the study abroad programs are cross-disciplinary, therefore, multiple branches of knowledge will be involved. It is not necessary to choose a program pertaining to your major (although you can if you want to).
Read about the experiences that our ambassadors have shared throughout their study abroad program by clicking on their names. Find more posts on our Voices from Around the World blog!
