We are happy to share the March 2022 edition of our UB Study Abroad Alumni Spotlight series, which highlights the impact that studying abroad, has had on the careers and lives of UB Alumni! Along with sending students abroad this semester to Denmark, France, and on the Semester at Sea Program, I’m happy to add South Korea to the list. Although international travel comes with its challenges, especially during these times, we are happy to report that our students are doing well and enjoying their time overseas.
Meet Alexandria Colling, UB Study Abroad Alumna, and hear her speak about how participating in three study abroad programs (SUNY Brockport – Antarctica Winter 2013 Program, UB – Denmark: Technical University of Denmark Fall 2013 Program, and SUNY Albany – Finland: Field Course in Terrestrial Animals Summer 2014 Program) helped not only expose her to a career in Environmental Science, but prepared her to pursue her M.S. in Ecology and Biodiversity at Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium. Alexandria earned a B.S. in Environmental Studies and a B.A. in Psychology from UB. Not having met many people from different countries before, she values her study abroad programs for giving her another point of view from which to draw and has been able to use her study abroad experiences to help her stand out in job interviews. As a biologist, Alexandria highlighted her international experiences by creating a section on her résumé titled Field Experience and Fieldwork to include the projects she worked on while studying abroad in Antarctica and Finland. Alexandria is now a NEPA Specialist in Denver, Colorado and credits her study abroad programs to making her a better person!

The UB Office of Study Abroad Programs is excited to announce our 2021 Global Gallery: Photo Exhibition. Although the current pandemic has made it difficult for students to participate in traditional education abroad programs and other international activities over the past 18 months, we know that student interest in these programs remains very high and hope that conditions will allow us to offer a range of transformational education abroad programs in 2022.
In recognition of the 2021 International Education Week (IEW), we have organized a photo exhibition that showcases 40 of the best UB student photos from study abroad experiences over the past decade (2011-2021). While we don’t have any new photos from the past year, we believe that it’s more important than ever to celebrate UB’s commitment to global education and to share amazing photos from the past to help everyone get excited about future opportunities for members of our UB community. International Education Week is a time for every student, staff, and faculty member to share international stories and photos, celebrate our diverse campus community, and recognize the positive local and global impact of education abroad programs.
Our Global Gallery: Photo Exhibition will be held in Talbert Hall in the 2nd Floor Hallway from November 15-19, 2021. We will also post these incredible student photos to our Facebook page. Please join us for this celebration of International Education Week and UB study abroad alumni!

The Brockport Global Citizenship Virtual Exchange Programs were modeled after the SUNY Coil Global Commons program. In these Global Citizenship Virtual Exchange Programs, students will contribute to global sustainability by completing a project in small groups, in partnership with community based and nonprofit organizations around the world. Students will gain skills in intercultural communications and collaboration by completing a project for one of these partner organizations through the framework of the United Nations Sustainability Goals. Partner organizations around the world will work with groups of students to develop these stories and receive use of the final products.
