The University is welcoming our Syracuse Abroad center directors to main campus at the end of this month from Florence, London, Madrid, Strasbourg, Santiago and Wroclaw/Central Europe. From Monday, March 25, through Friday, March 29, students, faculty and staff will have opportunities to meet the directors and student alumni for Coffee & Conversation sessions about the exciting programs, initiatives and experiences available at centers overseas.
“The Abroad center directors are coming to campus at a very exciting time as the University is beginning to implement the core commitments in “Leading with Distinction,” the University’s academic strategic plan,” says Erika Wilkens, assistant provost and executive director for Syracuse Abroad. “As leaders within one of the highest ranked study abroad programs in the U.S., the center directors are uniquely positioned to help implement key goals of the plan: ensuring that every undergraduate will be encouraged and enabled to participate in a study abroad or away experience before they graduate; leveraging our robust international assets; and further elevating Syracuse University’s position as a premier globally engaged academic institution.”
