Meet with an Advisor
Advising appointments with NAU Education Abroad can be either online or face to face. Make an appointment with the advisor who specializes in the destination you wish to travel to, by requesting a date and time that is suitable for you. Your advisor will then be in touch with a zoom link or office location to finalize your appointment time.
If you are interested in learning more about getting started or have quick questions, join us for Walk-in Wednesdays from 1-3pm in the Center for International Education, Blome Building #2.

Education Abroad Student Employee
Hello! My name is Violette Valencia and I am majoring in Sociology with minors in Ethnic Studies and International Studies here at NAU. For Spring 2025, I studied abroad at Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea for four incredible months! I have also done three faculty-led programs including Spain for a week, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France over the summer, and one in China this past winter. One of my favorite parts of going abroad is creating unforgettable memories I fondly look back on and would love to share that joy with others! I aim to be a source of support to fellow students so feel free to reach out if anything! Can't wait to talk soon!
