Welcome International and Exchange Students!

On Friday, August 2nd, the Global Engagement Office held the New International and NSE Orientation. During this time we welcomed the new exchange students, took a tour of campus, and participated in a really fun trivia about California’s history and culture. Everyone walked away with great prizes. We are so thrilled to have you all and hope you have an amazing semester at Sonoma State University! 

Meet the Global Ambassadors!

We are happy to introduce the new Global Ambassador team for the Fall 2023 semester! Each student is an SSU study away alumni who recently completed a year abroad in their respective countries. Our team of 4 is so excited to start working with students, share experiences, and educate about studying away!
