Hello everyone! My name is Amy Jennings, and I started working as the Study Abroad Coordinator in the Office of Global Education a couple months ago. Last week I had a wonderful experience visiting our campus in Di**le, Ireland and wanted to share some photos and introduce myself. I studied abroad in London during my senior year of college which sparked an interest to work in international education. I’ve been in the field full-time for a few years now and am excited to be supporting SHU students navigating the study abroad process. Looking forward to connecting with more of you this academic year!

Buongiorno from Italy! Our SHU students in the Sustainable Italy program are soaking in the stunning views of Vernazza in the Italian Riviera 🌊🌿 This immersive summer experience offers a unique opportunity to explore how tourism and sustainability come together in one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes.
