GET INVOLVED
FAU International Friends
The International Friends Program matched current FAU students with new, incoming international students. FAU students help the international students transition to life at FAU, as well as serve as a resource for campus life. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and/or become friends with students from the university you studied abroad with or plan to study abroad. Please visit the International Friends Program site for more information.
Student Testimonials
Students who have studied abroad are able to provide testimonials of their experiences abroad. If you are interesting if have your experience shared, please email goabroad@fau.edu.
Professional Organizations
There are many organizations, both nationally and statewide, that are designed to keep students involved in the international education community. Each of these organizations furthers international education in their own way while also providing opportunities for students to stay involved. Some of these organizations offer memberships at a discounted rate for students. Here are a few of those organizations.
Florida Association of International Educators
Post Study Abroad
In addition to becoming involved with the FAU Study Abroad Ambassadors and other organizations, there are many ways to enjoy your post study abroad experience(s). The FAU Education Abroad office is always available to discuss options/opportunities with students.
Go Abroad Again
We encourage students to study abroad as many times as they are able to, as long as it works academically, financially, etc. Students can set up an appointment with either Alex Baker, Steph Pack, or Brendan Richardson to discuss options.
Fulbright Student Program
