Institute of International Education (IIE Global) approached Young American Expat to help support their #generationstudyabroad initiative and be a commitment partner in 2017. For nearly a century, IIE Global has been a world leader in international education. They work to build more peaceful and equitable societies by advancing scholarship, building economies and promoting access to opportunity (they are the ones who manage the Fulbright scholarship for the State Department for example).
As Young American Expat's focus is digitally showcasing the lives of Americans abroad in their 20s and 30s who went abroad for work, education or for love, some of whom we showcase might be either currently studying abroad or alumni of study abroad. We at Young American Expat are looking forward to boosting international experience.
For Young American Expat's commitment, when possible, we will try to aid in contributing to content in showcasing the beauty that study abroad can bring to the next generation of young Americans. We will carry on with our mission and showcase all lives of various stories through our digital storytelling. We are proud to showcase the stories we have shared so far and quite a few of them have been alumni of various study abroad programs or have done direct enrolment. Finally, we are very active in using their #generationstudyabroad hashtag when relevant.
At least 1/3 of our extensive stories showcased are alumni of various American study abroad programs (for example Isaac Reynolds, Sam Cooper, Jay Josefosky, Nicole Camboni, Kate Shoaf, and James Munley). In addition, among the remaining 2/3s, a significant minority are currently overseas pursuing some variant of a postgraduate degree (or have completed them already) such as Tom Scriba and Alyssa Hoffert. Also, some are both former study abroad alumni and also have/are completed post-graduate degrees overseas such as Kristale Iveraj Rama, Leah Alexandria Rogers-Kingley, Elena Habersky and Ejiro Onomake. To note, some of those we have featured in "Inspiration" are giving back to the international education initiative, such as Dana Knowles who is part of the board of directors with Fulbright Spain. Others are also former study abroad alumni, which impacted why they live abroad, including Sarah Gemba, Anne Liebgott, and Tom Arms. In general, our Inspiration stories of established Americans have built their careers of being cultural ambassadors between the USA and in their adopted home countries - from journalism, consulting, legal, travel, tech and even food. Finally, both the original core YAE team Richie Santosdiaz and Colleen Boland from Young American Expat are also alumni of study abroad programs and also pursued degrees abroad post-graduate level (they actually met in London while studying at SOAS: University of London).
