6 study abroad experiences. 6 life lessons for Study Abroad Day 2025! ???? 2001 - Switzerland Freshman year. Knew nothing but thought I knew everything. Humility arrived shortly after. ???? 2002 - France Thought I’d master French in a summer. France said “non.” ?? ???? 2003 - England Interned in British Parliament. Learned how the political sausage gets made. Lost appetite. Also, my poli sci degree? Questionable. ????/???? 2005 - England/Scotland/Ireland Grad school program on British/Irish higher ed. Top-up fees were just becoming “a thing.” But still, me and my $100k in student debt were very jealous. ???? 2006 - China A month of TEFL training in Beijing did not prepare me for a year of teaching 18-year-olds in southern China. But I made up for it by being funny… they laughed (at me) a lot. ???? 2010 - Costa Rica Earned my 200-hour yoga teacher certification. My life, personality, and Instagram feed became all about yoga. Namaste. ??♀? Studying abroad taught me more than any textbook ever could—about culture, career pivots, and how little I actually knew at 19. Happy #StudyAbroadDay! Thank you Erin Kunert, Alainna Swenson, Ashley Alberghini, Carlo E. Fabros, Chelsea Balderson, and Nicole Neese for all your hard work bringing Study Abroad Day to life!

28 years ago I embarked on a summer French language study abroad program in Paris with the University of Minnesota Morris. Looking back today, I can see how many preconceived notions I had that summer - especially about France and Parisians, but also about about myself, what I was capable of, and what mattered to me - but the nature of being 20, at least for me at that time, was looking so closely at the trees right in front of me, that I could not see the forest I was in. After graduating from college two short years later, I left for London on a much longer program, this time with no professor or fellow classmates to lean on. Completing my masters degree at UCL SSEES showed me that I was definitely in a forest, but the details were still fuzzy. The preconceived notions still followed me, too - about British culture and (still!) about myself, what I was capable of, and what mattered to me. I had more experiences abroad after that, but those first two international learning experiences shaped who I am today, including my taste for clotted cream on a scone as well as my nearly 20 year career in international education. But what transcends the carby treats is my lifelong interest in exploring the forest we all live in. Every day I work to understand, as accurately as I can, the similarities and differences in the cultures and people that make up our world - and my vocation is to do my small part to bring others along on that journey. The power of international education is its unique ability to help us understand in our heart (not just in our head) that when we think we know, we need to look closer. The forest can always reveal more to us. Happy #StudyAbroadDay to all who celebrate, especially current colleagues at Via TRM and former colleagues and friends around the world!

Congratulations to the 2025 NAFSA #SimonAward winners! Penn State University, San Diego State University, University of Arizona, The University of Georgia, University of Notre Dame, Saint Louis University, @Clinton School at University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are setting the standard for excellence in internationalizing U.S. campuses and broadening students’ understanding of the world. As Fanta Aw, NAFSA executive director and CEO said, “For more than two decades, the Simon Award has stood as a hallmark of excellence in campus internationalization, and this year’s recipients continue that proud tradition. The inclusion of minority-serving institutions and public land-grant universities among the honorees underscores that global education can thrive in a variety of institutional settings. Notably, five repeat winners reaffirm that campus internationalization is not a one-time achievement, but a continuous, evolving commitment guided by core principles. We commend this year’s recipients for their unwavering dedication to building a more globally connected future.” Learn more and help us congratulate them on their accomplishment! nafsa.org/SimonAward
