What are Study Abroad Ambassadors?

As past study abroad participants, Study Abroad Ambassadors share the benefits of their experience with the SFU community. Study Abroad Ambassadors represent International Services for Students at campus events, where they engage prospective students and promote Study Abroad programs. Study Abroad Ambassadors work together to develop promotional activities and implement programming for nominated, returned and incoming study abroad participants.
