Peer Advisers

Our Study Abroad & Away Peer Advisors are current TU students who have already studied abroad or away and now work in the TU Study Abroad & Away Office. They are eager to share stories about their time abroad or away and can provide first-hand advice and guidance before, during, and after your experience.

Ask a Peer Advisor

Study Abroad & Away Peer Advisors can help you research programs, look up classes, and give you general tips about studying away or overseas. Send them an email at to ask a specific question or to make an appointment to meet with one of them. You don’t have to be interested in the destination where the Peer Advisor studied or the program they participated in to talk with them.

NOTE: Students who meet with a Peer Advisor are still required to attend a Study Abroad & Away group advising session and meet with a Study Abroad & Away Advisor.

Hi! I am a senior in the Honors College majoring in Psychology and International Studies, with minors in Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, and Asian Studies. I studied away through the National Student Exchange program at the Universty of South Dakota in the United States and participated in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Tel Abel Beth Maacah Archaological Dig in Upper Galilee in Israel in Summer 2023. I have a passion for learning about and understanding different cultures and have had the opportunity to study both abroad and away! Traveling to different places within the U.S. or overseas is eye-opening and can be affordable. If given the chance, I encourage everyone to explore the world beyond our TU campus!

Hi everyone! I am a sophomore majoring in International Business, and I am minoring in Italian and Business Law. I participated in the TU Italian Language and Culture in Venice, Italy faculty-led program in Minimester 2023. Studying abroad helped me improve my skills in speaking Italian, and build friendships that have continued back at Towson. I’m excited to help other students study abroad and create amazing memories!

Hello, I'm Marianna! I am a senior majoring in International Studies with a keen interest in geography and international affairs. In Summer 2023, I participated in the TU French Language and Culture program which helped me improve my French language skills and broadened my perspective on the world. My study abroad experience taught me to be open-minded and adaptable and opened doors to new friendships.

Hi, I am Ryan! I participated in the AIFS Abroad Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany in Fall 2022. I'm currently a senior majoring in Business Administration and Management with a focus in international business. I love traveling to new places and experiencing new cultures and environments. The time I spent studying abroad in Germany was one of the greatest experiences I've ever been able to participate in and I hope to ensure my peers have the opportunity to participate in similar life-changing activities.
