Ambassadors

Have a question about a program or country you're interested in? Contact a Center for Education Abroad (CEA) Ambassador! Ambassadors are students who have gone abroad and are here to answer your questions. They are a great resource to get to know the student perspective of going abroad before you go. Contact the ambassadors for any questions you may have about the student experience.
