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! 😊

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 ❤️🇪🇸

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!💗💂‍♀️👑 🍻

Ciao! My name is Kyle, and I am a senior Art Histo

Ciao! My name is Kyle, and I am a senior Art History major. For this #meetanambassadormonday, I will be reflecting on my semester abroad in Florence, Italy.

From touchdown to departure, I knew that I had chosen the perfect city to call home. Florence, and furthermore Europe as a whole, allowed myself to explore the art and architecture which I have grown to deeply love during my studies! Between the various museums (including a complimentary Uffizi card!) and the gorgeous buildings which seem to be at every turn, I was able to fully immerse myself in Italian culture. And as for the food, much to the appreciation of my host parents, I learned the ins-and-outs of Florentine dinner culture. Their home became not only a hub for awaiting my next adventure, but a space of cultural exchange within open arms! More than just welcoming me, they constantly educated me and that is one of my fondest memories of #syracuseabroad!

From art on the streets to in the kitchen, I learned what it meant to be in a living/breathing city such as Florence! Classes such as HOA321 (Leonardo da Vinci), HOA424 (Sixteenth Century Italy), and ANT300(Food, Culture, and Identity) split time between the classroom and site visits, allowing me to not only learn, but to also reflect actively.

Oh, and do not get me started on the window shopping!

Ciao! My name is Polina, and I am studying architecture. On this #flashbackfriday , I am remembering my survey trip to Venice I went on with my class during my semester in Florence!

One of the unique opportunities we have in architecture is to all travel together to study buildings in different cities while abroad. Venice was one of my personal favorites. The colder weather of November meant the city was less busy, but even more beautiful with Christmas lights. Venice is filled with many hidden nooks and little canal bridges that hold the true magic of these islands.
