The new office of Global Education!

Starting this fall, international students and study abroad students will now both fall under the new office of Global Education! Questions involving study abroad should still be addressed to Laura Johnson at [email protected] but questions regarding international students should now be addressed to Jessa Miller or Laura Johnson at [email protected]. Lindsey Burnham will remain a contact for student visa questions in addition to the office of Global Education.

This change should allow us to better serve our international and domestic student populations by creating a one stop shop for anything Global Education related. You can drop by our office anytime during business hours in 109 Perlman Hall!
