It’s been a great summer on the blog keeping up with our CEA Alumni Ambassador team. Since they’ve “been there, done that” when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of study abroad, it’s been fun hearing about their experiences in Barcelona, Prague, Aix-en-Provence, Alicante, Paris, Port Elizabeth, Seville, and San Jose. We love hearing their feedback and want to thank them for their help on the blog covering topics such as debunking study abroad myths and sharing their insights about the CEA Alumni Ambassador program.

If you’ve been busy working or hanging out with friends this summer, here’s a quick recap of what you missed:
On-site Ambassadorship in Alicante: Did you hear about Taylor’s summer with the CEA Alicante team? As one of the first CEA On-site Ambassadors, Taylor got to experience study abroad from the other side. (Plus, she was already an expert at study abroad with four programs behind her.)
That’s a Wrap! We thought the CEA blog would be a little quiet without our MOJOs over the summer, but our “Males in Study Abroad” series kept us checking back for more. We went back in time with Tanner, Shane, Josh, Patrick, Tarek, and David as they shared why they studied abroad, what they learned from their time abroad and why they encourage you to study abroad.
The end of this series also means we’re saying “adios” to Patrick, a Prague alum and Associate Alumni Ambassador, who contributed several blog posts recapping his time in Prague. We’re excited for where the next step in your post-study abroad journey takes you, Patrick!

But wait, there’s more! Before we start crying in our melted gelato that the summer is over, we’re excited for one more summer treat: Our second On-site Ambassador, Macey Hallstedt, a San Jose Winter ‘13 alumna and student at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, is about to share her summer CEA San Jose On-site Ambassadorship recap. Get ready for updates about living life “pura vida” style.
Psst: Even though we love summer, we’re psyched for the Fall semester to roll around so we can meet our new Alumni Ambassador team members and catch up with returning Ambassadors!
Psst (again!): How can you join the CEA Alumni Ambassador team? Study abroad with CEA!
