Hola todos! My name is Lauren and I am currently studying in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱

I am a junior majoring in anthropology at the Maxwell School and had the amazing opportunity to study abroad for this fall semester. I have been in South America for 3 months now, as I was apart of the Buenos Aires Immersion. I chose to study abroad in Chile because I wanted to advance my Spanish (most/all course during the fall semester are in Spanish) and experience everything South America had to offer. We are taking our classes at Pontificia Universidad Catholica de Chile, the best university in all of Chile !

If you want to learn more, tune into my takeover today :)

¡Hola a todos! My name is Natalie, I’m a junior

¡Hola a todos! My name is Natalie, I’m a junior at Syracuse, I’m from right outside Boston, and welcome to my day studying abroad in Madrid🇪🇸

I’m majoring in nutrition and dietetics @sufalkcollege and have a minor in Spanish, which has been super helpful in Madrid.

When I’m on campus, you will always find me busy! Outside of classes, I am part of the amazing nutrition intern team @maryannshawcenter and work as a dietetic intern for the football team. I am vice president of @suclubswim (best club team ever!) and a member of Nutrition Education Promotion Association @nepa_su. And in my free time, I enjoy running and working out, reading, and finding sweet treat spots wherever I am!

We have a busy day with classes and some fun activities with friends, so stay tuned for everything on the instagram story! And feel free to ask any questions about Madrid, study abroad, my life on campus, and my experience at Syracuse overall🍊🍊🍊

Hola a tothom (y hola a todos)! My name’s Julia,

Hola a tothom (y hola a todos)! My name’s Julia, and I’m a senior dual majoring in Spanish as well as Magazine, News and Digital Journalism. It’s such a pleasure to get to introduce myself to you all for this #MeetAnAmbassadorMonday.

Last spring, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona through one of SU’s World Partner programs with @ceacapaabroad. For me, language and cultural immersion were some of my biggest motivators for going abroad — and Barcelona delivered. From living with a host family and taking Catalan courses to attending cultural festivals and exploring the city’s beautiful architecture, I now feel like I’ll always have a home in Catalonia.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (@juliaboehning). I’m happy to help 🙂

Hello everyone! My name is Olivia Eichorn, and I’m a senior studying Supply Chain Management and Business Management. This past spring, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad at the Syracuse London Center—an unforgettable experience that I’m so excited to share!

When choosing a college, one of my top priorities was the ability to study abroad. I was especially drawn to London because of its vibrant city life and culture. While there, I explored iconic landmarks, visited markets, saw shows, and visited museums. One of the biggest reasons I chose London was the ease of travel throughout the UK.

I took full advantage of this by visiting Edinburgh, Lockerbie, and Dublin. Each destination offered its own unique cultural experience, but Lockerbie was especially meaningful. One of my favorite moments from all of my abroad experiences was playing rugby with the students at Lockerbie Primary School. This experience allowed me to build meaningful connections with local residents and reflect on the shared history between Lockerbie and Syracuse University.

I was also able to take a Sports Management class (SPM 300), which, as a business student, I was extremely excited about. Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to explore courses outside my usual curriculum. Throughout the class, we went on field trips to historic sports venues across the UK. This experience sparked a genuine interest in the UK sports industry. This is something I would never have discovered if I hadn’t stepped outside of my comfort zone adding this course.

Becoming a Global Ambassador was an easy choice for me. I’m excited to continue sharing my experience with anyone considering studying abroad. If you’re interested in a semester abroad, feel free to reach out to any ambassador. Each of our journeys is exciting in their own ways!

Happy #FlashbackFriday ! My name is Maryn Ascher a

Happy #FlashbackFriday ! My name is Maryn Ascher and I’m a senior (‘26) studying forensic science and anthropology. Last semester (Spring 2025), I studied abroad at our World Partner, @uniofqld , in Brisbane, Australia! I chose this program because I wanted to study in a country where I likely wouldn’t be able to visit without the opportunities provided by Syracuse Abroad. My goal was to branch out and see places I never expected to see in my life! The University of Queensland was also a great choice because it provided me with an on-campus environment similar to Syracuse, and a variety of anthropology classes where I could learn tons about Australian culture. Brisbane is a beautiful city and studying abroad there gave me the opportunities of a lifetime. I made friends from all over the world, got to learn about the Australian Indigenous community, and travelled to so many cool places. Highlights of mine include island-hopping in Indonesia, snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, driving through Tasmania, and meeting Robert Irwin at the Australia Zoo! For me, studying abroad was a chance for me to immerse myself in a new environment, to learn about new cultures and how they compare to my experiences in America. I became a Global Ambassador so that I could further share these experiences with you all! #syracuseabroad #brisbaneaustralia

Dzień dobry everyone! My name is Ella Roerden (@ellabriand) and I am a junior Anthropology and International Relations major at Syracuse! This fall, I am studying abroad with SU’s epic Exploring Central Europe Program, based out of Wrocław, Poland! 🇵🇱 This is my third semester abroad with SU (previously I did Discovery Florence and the Santiago English program) and I chose this program because it is something new and exciting! In my travels, I haven’t spent much time in Central Europe, and I wanted to get to know the region and experience a beautiful fall semester traveling around Poland and its neighbors. The program also has interesting classes that count towards both of my majors.

Right now, we are in the middle of our 12-day travel seminar, so tune into the story to see what I get up to today!

Hi! I’m Kailyn Peng, a senior Photography major at Newhouse. I studied abroad in London last spring, and on today’s #flashbackfriday I’m remembering a day exploring Tate Modern for class and then wandering through Leadenhall Market, Blackfriars, Bankside, London Bridge, and Southwark. One of my favorite things about London was how walkable it is because every turn felt like a new adventure. #syracuseabroad

Ciao ragazzi 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 I a

Ciao ragazzi 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

I am Dannia and i’m a fourth year majoring in architecture and minoring in business (@dfpicasso).

Last semester I was in London, and now I’ve officially made Florence my home for Fall 2025 with @syr_arch_florence . Little life update: my family is actually Italian and I even lived in Genova when I was 7… so being back feels like a full circle main character moment. Florence is seriously unreal, every street looks straight out of a painting and the architecture & design is beautiful. I am currently living in a very cute apartment with 3 of my best friends. It’s so exciting!

This past weekend we played tourists for a bit and did a two-day adventure hitting some of the city’s biggest landmarks (yes… gelato was involved). I’m so excited to keep exploring, learning, and sharing little bits of Italy with you all.

So grab your espresso and tag along for today’s day in my life in Firenze!

Coucou ! My name is Bronwyn and I’m currently studying abroad in Strasbourg, France. I’m a junior at Kenyon College, where I study English and French. I chose to study abroad here because I want to improve my French language skills and get to know the Alsatian region. I’m currently living with an amazing host family in Strasbourg!! I have two younger host brothers who help me practice my French every day, and my host parents have been introducing me to new foods and music. This fall, I’m taking Syracuse classes as well as courses at the Université de Strasbourg, dans la Faculté des lettres. Alongside my classes, I’m also interning at two schools in Strasbourg: Les Pinsons and Lycée Pontonniers. If you want to learn more, tune into my takeover today :)

Hello everyone! My name is Brennan Jolly and I am

Hello everyone! My name is Brennan Jolly and I am an senior studying biology and psychology. I studied abroad in London last spring. I chose London because I wanted to live in a big city-somewhere where you never run out of new things to see and new places to go, but also someplace green with nature easily accessible.

For today’s #MeetAnAmbassadorMonday I wanted to share some pictures from my time in London (@syracuselondon)and the surrounding countryside. The public transportation in England is amazing and it’s really easy to be able to visit places like the White Cliffs of Dover, Hampton Court Palace, and the Seven Sisters cliffs. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! @brennanjolly
