The Department of Agricultural Education and Communication met with Nicole Fuls, Assistant Director of Faculty Engagement within Study Abroad Services at UFIC to learn about Study Abroad at UF. The informational session explained the role of Study Abroad Services (SAS), in supporting prospective and current study abroad students. During their time together, Fuls introduced faculty to ways they can get involved with SAS’s mission, such as ways in which they can help to promote these opportunities to students and of course, how they can get involved in developing their faculty-led programs or serve as an academic manager for exchanges.
The International Center’s Campus Roadshows provide a platform for on-site knowledge-sharing on global opportunities and a time to dialogue about internationalization efforts at UF.

Carrie Martins is the Coordinator of Faculty Development Initiatives in the UFIC Office of Global Learning. She helps support faculty in incorporating internationalization-at-home strategies into their courses.
Carrie is from a small town in rural Pennsylvania called Fairfield, and her love for international education started with her decision of which college to attend. “I chose the University of Delaware (UD) because I wanted to study abroad as soon as possible, and they offered programs that freshmen were eligible for, unlike many other schools,” said Carrie. “I started with a Study Abroad in Costa Rica for 5 weeks and later did a semester-long program in Argentina. I also participated in and co-led service learning abroad in the Dominican Republic.” While earning her Bachelor’s in Political Science and Spanish with a specialization in Portuguese, Carrie worked as a TA for Portuguese classes and volunteered for a non-profit that supported immigrants from Latin...
