Hola mis amigas! My name is Anna Lupardo (@annamar

Hola mis amigas! My name is Anna Lupardo (@annamarielup30) and I am a senior, studying Human Development & Family Science and Psychology in The College of Arts and Sciences! I studied abroad during the Fall of 2024, my junior year, at our Madrid Center and this experience singlehandedly changed the trajectory of my future! I realized while studying abroad that I wanted to go onto law school after graduation, and on top of that I got to explore the country of Spain, a place I had never traveled to before my time abroad.

For this Flashback Friday, I wanted to share one of my favorite excursions I did while studying in Spain! During October of that fall, my friends and I wanted to go some place warm with a beach. We ended up in Lanzarote, one of the smallest islands in the Canary Islands, known for its lava rock landscape. This trip is where I had some of my favorite foods I ate during the entirety of my abroad experience. The island was also filled with some of the most unique architecture and the bluest ocean water I have ever seen!

When you are abroad, you don’t have to break the bank to travel to cool places, even if they are places no one else is going to! Less tourists, means more space and time for you and your friends to enjoy and explore. If any of you have questions about my experience, places to see while in Spain, or if you need the extra push to decide to study abroad in general - I’m happy to help 😊

Salut! My name is Hannah and I am a junior studying History and International Studies, with a French minor, at Kenyon College! I am currently abroad with the Syracuse Strasbourg program, and I have loved exploring this beautiful city (even if it is a bit cold right now)! @syracuseustrasbourg
I was drawn to Syracuse Strasbourg because of how centrally located we are in Europe, making it easy to connect with new people and cultures. Strasbourg is know as an international hub, because of the many intergovernmental organizations that are based here. I have an internship at the Council of Europe this semester, a unique opportunity to take part in human rights and democracy development in a pan-European manner.

Hi everyone! My name is Neha Chhablani, and I’m

Hi everyone! My name is Neha Chhablani, and I’m a junior at Syracuse University studying Political Science and Environment, Sustainability, and Policy.

During my time in Strasbourg, I interned with the Council of Europe’s Data Protection Unit, where I conducted research on European and international data protection policies, wrote news reports, analyzed ECtHR case law, and supported preparation for the Convention 108+ Plenary Assembly. I also completed a major research project analyzing African Union data protection frameworks. I was able to engage with international policy firsthand; for instance, I participated in EuroDIG, a pan-European conference on internet governance, and was able to witness Ukraine's President Zelensky deliver an address to the Parliamentary Assembly.

The experience taught me so much about how multilateral diplomacy works, and I’m so grateful I had this opportunity! Feel free to reach out to me at @nehaachhablani if you have any questions.

Hey, my name is Joey Simone, and I am a senior studying Finance and Real Estate in the Whitman School of Management. During my time in London, I was fortunate enough to be admitted to Whitman's Project-Based Learning Class. This class served as a perfect professional experience for me. @joeysimone_ @syracuselondon

For the semester-long project, two peers and I were tasked with gathering information about the e-commerce landscape in and around London. An equity management company, Granular Capital, guided us to conduct hands-on research regarding a company in which they were invested: InPost. Our job as a team was to determine whether InPost was a value investment for Granular, based on research we conducted in London and online via LinkedIn connections with professionals.

This class was such an engaging experience that honed my professional development, research, and analysis skills. We also went on plenty of field trips to study various aspects of business in London, including Parliament, the Bank of England, Royal Exchange, the Museum of Brands, and Wimbledon!

For Olutoyin Green, two study abroad experiences launched a multi-semester research endeavor bridging social movements across time and space.

In addition to her semester abroad in Durban, South Africa, Green also participated in a summer internship at the Global Governance Institute through the European and Global Internship Program in Brussels, Belgium.

Inspired in large part by the “blueprint and hope” that she received from anti-apartheid leaders in South Africa, her senior honors thesis is now considering how social movements are sustained to effectively create meaningful change.

European leaders, academics and youth representatives gathered in Strasbourg, France, on Nov. 26 and 27 for the inaugural Europa Power meetings, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at debating, and laying out plans for, building a “Superpower Europe.” 🇫🇷

Syracuse University played an important role in the landmark gathering held in Strasbourg and was the only U.S. institution present.

“Europe’s current and future role in global economics and geopolitics is a critically important topic for the world and for the United States,” says Dean Van Slyke. “The Maxwell School is honored to be a part of this gathering and these discussions, and I am proud that our students and scholars have the opportunity to contribute.”

Ciao! My name is Alie Fitt and I’m a senior musi

Ciao! My name is Alie Fitt and I’m a senior music industry BM/MBA student. I’m here to tell you about my amazing experience studying abroad in Florence during my freshman summer of 2023. Happy #flashbackfriday with @syracuseflorence !!! 🇮🇹❤️

I could rave about my time in Florence forever. I loved my classes, exploring the city every day, and making amazing friends through it all.

My favorite activity was to wander around. I have the most fond memories of taking in the beauty of Florence, as well as the surrounding Tuscan cities. On the weekends, I would take the train to nearby cities with a small group of friends, and we would spend the day exploring the area. We would often meet kind locals, taste DELICIOUS food, and of course, eat lots of gelato.

Don’t miss out on the chance to travel abroad. I am so thankful to have had this experience and I hope I can do it all again someday! Alla prossima! 😊

I am taking Organic Chem and lab, Drug and Human Behavior, Spanish 2 and Cross Cultural. I will be taking over Syracuse Abroad on our last day in Madrid!

Hello! My name is Sofia Paschalidis, and I am a se

Hello! My name is Sofia Paschalidis, and I am a senior studying Retail Management and Marketing at SU. For today’s #meetanambassadormonday , I will be reflecting on my semester abroad in Madrid, Spain.

I had the absolute best time abroad; Madrid was the perfect home for me. I was able to visit museums, go to parks, explore the city, attend shows, go to soccer games, and immerse myself in the culture.
I chose Madrid because it offered the perfect balance of fun and relaxation, and there is so much to do. The opportunities were endless; even after being there for four months, there was still so much more to see. I was able to immerse myself in the culture through my classes, MadWorld activities, and overall experience.

Some of my greatest memories include attending museums with my HOA 209 (Arts of Spain) course, attending cooking classes and flamenco shows, going to the Sunday markets (El Rastro), my MAR 400 course (Marketing in Spain and the US), and just simply walking around Madrid feeling at home. It was truly the most amazing time and I wish I could go back and do it all over again! I look forward to visiting soon ❤️🇪🇸

Salama! Hello! My name is Miles, I’m a Junior in @maxwellschoolsu studying International Relations (@ir_maxwellsu) and Environment, Sustainability and Policy (@envsupolicysu)!

This Flashback Friday, I wanted to share one of my favorite memories of studying abroad with @sitstudyabroad’s Biodiversity & Natural Resource Management program in Madagascar last Spring!

Madagascar wouldn’t be Madagascar without King Julian so seeing ring-tailed lemurs in the wild was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our program highlighted ecotourism as a method of natural resource management, so visiting these parks was not only incredibly cool, it was also field learning.

Studying abroad in underappreciated places across Africa, South America, and Asia holds so many incredible opportunities and I’m so grateful to Syracuse Abroad and SIT for the experience to study in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.

Hi everyone! My name is Erica Watts (@ericawattts)

Hi everyone! My name is Erica Watts (@ericawattts) and I am currently studying abroad in London, UK with @syracuselondon 🇬🇧

I am a third-year Television, Radio, and Film major in @newhousesu with a minor in Marketing from @whitmanatsu at Syracuse University. During my time in London, I am taking EEE 370: Intro To Entrepreneurship, TRF 560: Documenting Reality, HOM 300: America The Musical, and BPS 400: The Global Workplace. I am also participating in the internship program and work as a film & TV development intern for Braintrust in the city.

I chose to study abroad in London because it’s one of Europe’s major cities for film, media, and theater. From collaborating with creative professionals across the city and throughout Europe to catching West End shows after class, I’ve experienced so much and couldn’t have made a better choice.

Make sure to follow my takeover on the story today, and ask questions if you have any. Cheers!💗💂‍♀️👑 🍻
