Study Abroad Rambassadors Program
Calling all study abroad returnees! Have you spent a semester/academic year abroad, participated in a global travel seminar, spent a summer studying at a foreign destination, or even started your Suffolk experience at our campus in Madrid, Spain? Then you're invited to apply to the Study Abroad Rambassador Program (SARP).
The SARP is designed to connect students that have already studied abroad to future study abroad students so that they can share their experiences. We are looking for motivated returnees that are passionate about their time abroad and want to share that with others. This program will connect you to other students with similar experiences, grow your professional skills, allow for networking opportunities and give you the opportunity to make an impact on future study abroad students’ journeys!
By applying to participate as a Study Abroad Rambassador you'll:
- Develop valuable professional skills in event planning, public speaking, advising, marketing and networking
- Connect with other study abroad returnees that experienced a life changing time abroad just like you
- Make a difference for future study abroad students and help them get started on their journey abroad
