The study abroad office is thrilled to announce that Rachel McCloud, a UMBC class of 2016 graduate, has joined our office as a study abroad advisor.

Rachel was a study abroad peer advisor last year and is now joining our staff to assist with study abroad advising, student data management, event planning, and general study abroad support.

She received her bachelor’s degree in Asian Studies and Global Studies with an interest in international affairs.

Her first study abroad experience started in summer 2014, she spent six months studying abroad at National Taiwan Normal University in Taiwan. All of her courses focused on furthering her Mandarin language skills. Her time in Taiwan not only benefited her language skills but also her appreciation and understanding of the Taiwanese culture.
