Study Abroad Peer Ambassadors
Not sure study abroad is for you? Do you have more questions about the international experience than you can find answers for? The Bryan School Study Abroad Peer Ambassadors (SAPAs) can help advise you on study abroad opportunities. Your SAPAs are thirteen students who have studied abroad for a semester to a year in France, China, Mexico, Australia, the UK, Spain and Germany. They are pursuing majors in Marketing, Economics, International Business, Accounting and Business Administration.
Discover what classes, accommodations and extra-curricular activities will be like in the country of your dreams. The Ambassadors look forward to meeting with you! Contact Heidi Fischer, Bryan School Study Abroad Advisor (h_fische@uncg.edu) to schedule a one-on-one “coffee hour” with one of the SAPAs.
