Global Ambassador Program

Welcome to KSU’s Global Ambassador (GA) program, which is designed to promote a globally-focused education at Kennesaw State University (KSU).  Each member of this select group of undergraduate, graduate, and international students serves as a knowledgeable and passionate representative of KSU’s global experiences, promoting and supporting the efforts of the Office of Global Education in a variety of ways: 

  • Serving as official representatives of the Office of Global Education
  • Promoting the advantages of education abroad
  • Building a community of students with a passion for global education at KSU
  • Planning, promoting, and supporting Global Education programs and events
  • Making a significant contribution to KSU’s international culture, by mentoring and advising students who will be studying abroad.

 

KSU’s Global Ambassadors are eager to share their global experiences with other students, to help them explore the possibilities!

Message from the GA Team Leader

Dallas
Studying abroad has completely changed my worldview and the trajectory of my future. Both times that I traveled to Italy altered my outlook and plans. The memories that I made while out of the country were ones that I think every student should have the opportunity to enjoy. Not only is studying abroad fun and exciting, but it is a transformative experience. My perspective on the world and the people within it has been transformed. Engaging with people from different walks of life allows students to elevate their education and practice empathy. My trips have broadened the horizon of what possibilities I envision lie ahead. I gained a new sense of independence and ambition from studying abroad, which has led me to have greater expectations for my future.  Many students do not attempt to get involved with these programs because of the expenses, however multiple scholarships enabled me to travel, and I believe educating students about financial aid opportunities will spark greater interest. I am privileged to share these perspectives with over 40,000 students at KSU, as I lead the Global Ambassador team and promote the many benefits of a global education.
