Education Abroad Student Staff

Hello! My name is Dylan, and I'm a graduate assistant for the Office of Education Abroad. I studied abroad in Madrid in the Spring of 2023, and it was an unforgettable and transformative experience. During my time abroad, I was able to solifidy my Spanish proficiency, make connections both with locals and international students in my program, and step out of my comfort zone. It was an experience that has influenced my life greatly to this day, and I couldn't recommend it more!

I've worked at the Office of Education Abroad ever since I got back, and I couldn't be happier with my position. This job has provided me with the opportunity to share my experiences, help students in realizing their goals, network, and to stay engaged in a global setting. 

Hi! I’m Sarah, one of the graduate assistants in the Office of Education Abroad. I studied abroad in Graz, Austria during the Spring 2023 semester, and it was truly one of the most incredible and influential experiences of both my academic and personal journey.

While in Austria, I had the opportunity to improve my German, explore a new culture, and travel to incredible places throughout Europe. I made meaningful friendships, stepped outside of my comfort zone, and developed a greater sense of independence and adaptability. Studying abroad not only broadened my perspective, but also helped shape the person I am today.

Since returning to MSU, I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to work with the Office of Education Abroad. It’s incredibly rewarding to support other students as they explore study abroad options, prepare for their programs, and embark on experiences that will challenge and inspire them—just as mine did for me. 

My name is Robson DaSilva. I am a Global studies Major. I studied abroad for the 2023-2024 academic year at Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado in Sao Paulo, Brazil. For me studying abroad meant reconnecting with family and learning a language and culture that I love. It was a great experience that taught me a lot about different perspectives and ways of life. I was able to travel around Brazil and South America making many friends along the way. As a global ambassador, I am excited to help students learn about their opportunities in studying abroad!
