Introducing our Summer 2025 Study Abroad Social Media Ambassadors!

As the temperatures rise, so does our excitement because this summer we have a brand new group of awesome Wildcats heading abroad and ready to share their experiences from many exciting parts of the globe!
What makes this summer even more exciting is that for the first time, several of our ambassadors are participating in International Internships through a partnership with Absolute Internship! This new internship opportunity offers students the ability to gain global work experience while exploring life in a different country. How awesome is that? You can read more about this exciting new opportunity here!
As always, our ambassadors will be sharing their unique experiences through Instagram takeovers, photos, and videos on @uastudyabroad. From trying new foods, to learning new languages, or gaining career experience through their internships, these students will be giving us an inside look at what it’s really like to be a Wildcat abroad! We’re also continuing with our Sustainability Ambassador roles this summer. These ambassadors will be highlighting how they make eco-friendly choices while studying abroad!
And one more thing that makes this summer extra special! I’ve had the honor of writing these introduction articles for the past few semesters, but this time, I also have the pleasure of introducing myself as a Study Abroad Social Media Ambassador! I’m so excited to share my own experiences abroad alongside this amazing group of fellow Wildcats.
Without further ado, let’s meet our Summer 2025 University of Arizona Study Abroad Social Media Ambassadors!
