Country Ambassadors

Country Ambassadors serve as representatives from the various exchange partner universities at events and provide support to the SFSU Abroad and Exchange Programs. As a Country Ambassador, you will represent your home country abroad and institution in three ways: International Education Exchange Council (IEEC) Study Abroad Fair, Weekly IEEC/Study Abroad Tabling and Outbound Exchange Orientation.   

As Country Ambassador, you will also promote the International Education Exchange Council (IEEC) and study abroad activities through weekly tabling outside the Student Center next to Malcolm X Plaza. 

Who is at the table? 

• International students on a J-1 visa from a partner university
