Hear From Former Ambassadors
Hi! My name is Lilyana, I studied abroad in Sorrento, Italy in the J-term of 2023. I became an alumni ambassador to further my academic career because I am an international business minor & hoping to start a career one day in an international field. Using my experience as an alumni ambassador could be great for future interviews. I also joined the ambassador program to be a resource to students considering studying abroad because I truly believe all students should get to experience other cultures.

As an Alumni Ambassador, I get to stay connected with my time abroad in Italy and encourage others to study abroad and get outside their comfort zones as I did. I am glad I studied abroad, and that I get to spread that joy and answer questions for potential students about their time abroad. Having someone who has gone through the program answer questions and make recommendations for students is truly helpful, and I know I looked at the answers people had online to help answer questions for myself about where and when to study abroad. I highly recommend being an Alumni Ambassador to continue being connected with your study abroad time, and please reach out to me if you have any questions on studying abroad in Italy!
