Ambassador Position: Drop-in Advising Major: Integrated Neuroscience Program: Costa Rica: Medical Spanish and Health Sciences Summer (CEA CAPA) Ask me about: Studying abroad as an EOP student, the Gilman scholarship, studying
abroad as a pre-med student, and studying abroad in Costa Rica Email me: jgarcia33@binghamton.edu Come to my Drop-In Advising Hours: Mondays 1-2 p.m. and Thursdays 3-4 p.m.
Hi, I'm John! I studied abroad in San Jose, Costa Rica the summer before my sophomore
year. I am a first-generation student and a Gilman Alumnus. I attended the Education
Abroad Fair last spring and that's when I found out about studying abroad; it wasn't
necessarily something I knew about beforehand. I thought that because I am a pre-med
student, I wouldn't be able to study abroad or it wouldn't be meaningful, and both
aren't true!! Studying abroad was one of the most unique and breathtaking experiences
I've ever had and caused me to get out of my comfort zone. I was also able to explore
so many different parts of Costa Rica and enjoyed every moment of it. I can speak
on a bunch of different things about studying abroad in a Spanish-speaking country
so please ask! I'm excited to help other students navigate being pre-med and needing
scholarships for study abroad so please feel free to email me or come by during my
drop in hours with any questions or needing any help!!

Hi, my name is Nina! I am currently a senior studying Philosophy, Politics, and Law
with minors in Global Studies and Writing Studies. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy
during the spring semester of my junior year. As a European citizen, going abroad
was one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences of my life. Being immersed in
Italian culture in a city so influenced by Renaissance art, I learned so much about
famous Italian artists, philosophers, and poets (Dante Alighieri being my favorite!)
I took classes ranging from elementary Italian to art history and was able to spend
most of my days touring famous palaces and museums. I was also fortunate to go to
the Olympics in Milan and travel all around Europe, from the UK to Croatia. I'm so
excited to share more about my experience abroad, and feel free to ask me about anything
from budgeting and making connections to navigating a European city for the first
time!

Hi, I’m Dalia, and I studied abroad in London during this past spring semester. Studying
abroad was one of the most daunting and rewarding leaps of faith I’ve taken thus far
in my college career! Exploring London and greater Europe while being able to earn
college credit was such a unique and special experience that I have grown so passionate
about. Please feel free to reach out regarding any questions or trepidations about
the application and decision to studying abroad, anything relating to studying psychology

a first-generation college student, anything CEA CAPA related, and scholarships Email me: aluu3@binghamton.edu
Hi everyone, I'm Anderson, and I studied abroad in Prague in summer 2026 between my
sophomore and junior years. I did an internship with a marketing firm during my abroad
experience and got the chance to meet so many cool people and travel to a lot of interesting
countries. I really enjoyed how affordable and walkable Prague is, and its central
location made traveling to other countries accessible. I think that everyone should
study abroad during their college career if possible. Please reach out to me if you
have any questions regarding studying abroad or about interning in a different country!

studying abroad at Kokugakuin University Email me: smcgowan1@binghamton.edu Come to my Drop-in Advising Hours: Wednesdays 2-4 p.m.
Hello! My name is Shaelyn, and I studied abroad in Japan at Kokugakuin University
during the spring semester of 2026. My major is psychology, and I hope to become a
therapist, but I am also interested in multicultural education and am minoring in
Japanese studies. I was very nervous while I was preparing to study abroad, but it
was an extremely valuable and fun experience, and if I had the chance to do it again,
I would!

Ambassador Position: Programming Major: Philosophy, Politics & Law (PPL) Program: United Kingdom: University of Edinburgh Ask me about: studying abroad in the UK, studying abroad as a pre-law student, and
earning major credit while abroad Email me: cmoeling@binghamton.edu
Hi! My name is Caley, and I studied abroad in Scotland at the University of Edinburgh.
Studying abroad in a place like Edinburgh was truly a life-changing experience and
is something I'll never forget. I love Edinburgh for so many reasons, from the architecture,
the walkability, the people, and so much more. I studied abroad by myself, not knowing
anyone else studying in my home city, but through that I was able to meet so many
different kinds of people and make friendships that will last me a lifetime. Studying
abroad can seem daunting, but I learned so much about myself living in a whole different
country and traveling around Europe, and it is something I encourage everyone to do
if they have the opportunity. If you have any questions about studying abroad in Scotland,
earning major credit while abroad, going alone abroad, or anything else feel free
to reach out!

Ambassador Position: Drop-in Advising Major: Biology Minor: Global Studies Programs: Taiwan: Health and Cultural Perspectives, Costa Rica: Medical Spanish and

abroad as an underclassmen Email: mmurray20@binghamton.edu Come to my drop-in advising hours: Mondays 3:15-4 p.m. and Fridays 3-4 p.m. (via Zoom)
Hi I’m Morgan. I studied abroad this summer (2026), and I’m going into my sophomore
year. I did all three of my programs in one summer, and as overwhelming as that sounds,
I don’t regret it one bit! To give an introduction to each of my programs: Taiwan
was a short two-week facility-led program with other 91ÉçÇø students where we
learned about health, health education, and culture throughout the program. Costa
Rica was a four-week program where I took a medical Spanish class at Veritas University
and housing was at a homestay. London/the UK was a three-week program, and I took
a global health class with housing in a dorm. While in the UK, I also took a short
trip to Belgium by train! Although all my programs were short, I got to experience
what different housing situations, classes, teaching styles, countries and even continents
look like all over this past summer. Alongside those experiences, I can answer questions
about medical issues and insurance while abroad or just tell some really interesting
stories! I know studying abroad can be intimidating, but all my programs equally changed
my life and continued to give me new opportunities and perspectives, making me believe
every student should consider studying abroad. Please feel free to reach out or come
to my drop-in hours with any questions or if you just want to talk!

CCPA student, and earning major/minor credit while abroad Email me: nsnyder1@binghamton.edu
Hi! My name is Natalie, and I studied and interned in Barcelona through 91ÉçÇø's
program with CEA CAPA during the summer 2025 term. I also studied abroad with a non-91ÉçÇø
program for my first year of college. Studying abroad has been the most incredible
experience of my life, so I would love to help anyone who has questions about pursuing
it themselves. I was able to travel, immerse myself in new cultures, improve my language
skills, and earn credits. Please reach out if you have any questions about study abroad.
Lulu Smith
Lulu Smith (she/her)
Ambassador Position: Drop-in Advising Major: Psychology Minor: Digital and Data Studies Program: Peru: Service Learning & Immersion in Cusco (Maximo Nivel) Ask me about: Peru, doing volunteer work abroad, or any other questions you may have
about study abroad! Email me: lsmith32@binghamton.edu Come to my Drop-in Advising Hours: Mondays 1-2 p.m. and Wednesdays 1-2 p.m.
Hello, I’m Lulu! This past summer, I studied and volunteered in Cusco, Peru. Through
my program, I took Spanish classes and gained hands-on experience volunteering at
a nursing home and an alpaca farm. Outside of classes and volunteering, I spent my
weekends going on hiking trips and exploring the city. Through immersing myself in
the culture, engaging with the local community, and meeting new people from around
the world, I found myself living a completely different life from back home. The experience
left me with a new perspective on the world, others, and myself that I will carry
with me for the rest of my life. Although studying abroad was stressful at times,
it was incredibly rewarding, and I am excited to help others through the process and
share my own experiences.
NyVeah Stewart
NyVeah Stewart (she/her)
Ambassador Position: Drop-in Advising Major: Accounting (concentration in MIS) Minor: Global Studies Program: Morocco: Al Akhawayn Summer Session Ask me about: studying abroad for minor/elective credit, securing scholarships & financial
aid, traveling solo, and first-generation college student experiences Email: nstewart@binghamton.edu Come to my Drop-in Advising Hours: Mondays 1-3 p.m.
Hi!! My name is NyVeah, but I also go by NV. In summer 2026, I studied abroad in Ifrane,
Morocco at Al Akhawayn University! Although I’m in the School of Management, I used
my time abroad to take Arab history and focus on cultural interactions that tie directly
into my Global Studies minor capstone project. Even though Morocco is an Arabic- and
French-speaking country and I spoke neither, I went alone, thrived, and made incredible
local friends who showed me around the country. During my experience, I even got to
ride a 4-wheeler and a camel through the desert! As a first-generation college student,
utilizing resources like grants and 91ÉçÇø scholarships made this experience possible
for me. If you’re curious about finessing your schedule using a minor, navigating
funding resources, or taking the leap into solo travel, please feel free to reach
out!

Hi! I’m Avery, and I traveled to Japan for my spring sophomore semester. Being able
to live in Tokyo was amazing, and I loved studying at Waseda University alongside
people from all walks of life! It was a treat meeting people not only from Japan but
several other countries who also came to study at Waseda. I want to help as many people
experience what I was able to— my time abroad was an invaluable reward and an invigorating
challenge. Japan has so much to offer; from city to countryside, there’s something
for everyone! I made many lasting memories during my time, and I hope you can too!
Let me know if you have any questions about studying in Japan, at Waseda, or going
abroad as a STEM or Nursing student. I’m always excited to help!
Camden Wolfield
Camden Wolfield (he/him)
Ambassador Position: Drop-in Advising Major: Mechanical Engineering Program: Ireland: Dublin City University (ILA) Ask me about: studying abroad in Ireland, studying abroad as a Watson student Email: cwolfield@binghamton.edu Come to my Drop-in Advising Hours: Tuesdays 2-4 p.m.
Hey! My name is Camden, and I studied abroad in Dublin as a mechanical engineering
major for the spring 2026 semester. The ILA/DCU program provided numerous opportunities
for me to engage with other international students and make Irish friends while earning
major credit at a large university. In addition to the various scheduled events and
activities that the program offered outside of class, I went to concerts at local
venues like Vicar Street, hiked through the nearby landscapes of Bray Head and the
Wicklow Mountains, and travelled regionally in Europe. Studying abroad was one of
the most impactful and rewarding experiences I have ever had because I was able to
gain an incredible amount of knowledge about the culture, history, and natural environment
of Ireland while making friends from around the world and continuing my studies in
engineering. Feel free to email me or come to my drop-in advising hours if you have
any questions about studying abroad in Ireland or studying abroad as a Watson student!
