Choosing the perfect study abroad program or destination can feel like a big adventure, but don’t worry, we’re here to make it fun and easy! Our Global Student Mentors have been in your shoes and are ready to help you navigate the exciting journey ahead. You’ll spot them around campus hosting tables, chatting in your classes, or offering one-on-one drop-in meetings in our office. 

They’ve been where you are. They explored their options, chose to study abroad, and found programs that perfectly matched their academic and professional goals. Now, they’re excited to share their stories and tips with you. Connect with our GSM’s virtually or in person at the Experiential Global Learning Office (ROWE 117) during the semester! Click here for drop-in hours. View their images below to get in contact!
