Message from the 2024-25 Global Ambassador (GA) Team Leader

No matter what major or minor you wish to pursue, studying abroad offers various educational aspects dispersed throughout each unique program. Not only will you be able to encounter a plethora of people from numerous backgrounds that will increase your global competency, but studying abroad will also give you something that a classroom will never be able to. Traveling to Costa Rica and Italy placed me in a position of unfathomable obstacles that molded my mindset to push past my preconceived limitations.

On top of the perspectives you will gain, the incredible opportunity to appreciate the scenic beauties that come with such experiences are ones that will forever be engraved in your mind. Through all the exhilarations of studying abroad, I personally found that the perspective of simplicity, rooted in stillness and admiration of being in a foreign country, allowed me to reflect on how simple life is and how much we complicate it as we get older. Our goals for the future, many times, become the focus of our life鈥檚 purpose; however, while the future may be where success lies, you will never get there if you are not focused on the present.

With the perspective studying abroad has presented me in my educational, professional, and personal endeavors, I now strive to guide others into a global approach to life, while encouraging them to engage in these transformative experiences.
