Gilman/Scholarships Study Abroad Community Ambassador

My name is Grace Maduanusi, and I am a senior at the Milken Institute School of Public Health studying public health with a minor in psychology. In Spring 2026, I participated in the SIT Global Health and Development program in Geneva, Switzerland, which included a week-long excursion to Morocco. During the program, I traveled to 5+ countries, visited international organizations and NGOs, and conducted research, gaining valuable insights into global health and development.

One of the highlights of my study abroad experience was discovering my love for Swiss cheese and chocolate, especially the cheese, since I never liked cheese before studying abroad! I am very excited to work with the Office of Study Abroad. As an SACA, I look forward to engaging with students, sharing my experiences, and helping them plan and navigate their own study abroad journeys.
