Alumni and Ambassadors
Spanish Studies Abroad recognizes that studying in a foreign country is an experience not soon forgotten. Traveling to another country and living in another culture changes you as a person in a way that you just cannot explain to someone who has not had the same experience. You make friends with many different kinds of people from all over the world and see beautiful places that you may never have known existed.
We love to stay in touch with our alumni, whether through email or Facebook. We also send out a tri-annual student newsletter, which includes essays from current students and alumni. If you would like to be added to the newsletter list, please contact info[at]spanishstudies.org.Learn More About:

Would you like to share your study abroad experience with other students who are interested in studying abroad? The Spanish Studies Abroad Alumni Ambassador Program offers students returning from Spanish Studies programs in Spain or Argentina the opportunity to serve as an alumni representative on their college campus. In addition to being a fun activity, this is also a great way to handle some of the reverse culture shock that you may be experiencing.
Students may participate in the Alumni Ambassador Program by:
-
representing Spanish Studies Abroad at a study abroad fair
-
giving a presentation to a Spanish class
-
writing an article for the Spanish Studies Newsletter
-
setting up a table on campus
-
hosting a "Culture Night" with your campus's Spanish Club and answering any questions about your study abroad experiences with Spanish Studies Abroad
-
sharing photos with Spanish Studies Abroad
Students who complete all of the requirements of an ambassador project, including filling out an evaluation form, will receive a reward for the work they have done at the end of the academic year. See the Ambassador Packet for details.
How can I become a Spanish Studies Abroad student Ambassador?
First read the Ambassador Packet, which includes details and instructions on completing ambassador projects.
