The Office for Education Abroad (EA) team brings a wide range of professional expertise to the many facets of international education.
Our experienced staff is available to support, assist and guide MSU faculty, staff, students, and advisers, as well as our colleagues from across the globe, in developing programs and services that maximize a student's learning experience abroad. (See full list of EA staff on the Contact Us page.)
In addition to professional staff, EA engages current students in advising and outreach through the Peer Adviser Program, ASP Ambassador and Steward Programs and various graduate-level internships.
The Office for Education Abroad team has contributed in meaningful ways toward advancing scholarly excellence, particularly in the areas of regional, national and international presentations, as well as producing and contributing to varied publications. Below are recent examples.
