2016 SiS Student Ambassador of the Year |
Congratulations to Kristen Ha, who studies at University of California, Irvine, and has participated in the Student Ambassador Program 2016. Along the year, Kristen has represented Study in Spain on her campus, through different events and social media. She organized a “departure orientation” event for students of her University to help them planning their stay in Spain. Also, she collaborated in the organization of the Spanish pavilion at NAFSA Annual Conference & Expo in Colorado. |
In her own words: "The SiS program was an amazing opportunity for me to participate in. My experience as SiS was to encourage students to overstep their boundaries and explore the world outside of their comfort zone. I immensely enjoyed working along with the Spanish government in promoting and sharing the beautiful cultures and customs of Spain to my fellow students. Without this program, I would not have been able to share my love of learning cultures with others and the incredible benefits that come along with being multicultural."
The award ceremony was hosted by the Consul General of Spain in Los Angeles, Mr. Javier Vallaure de Achan, and the University of California, Irvine, on Feb 16, 2017.
