ELIANNA ALBERT
Hi! I am a senior in the Honor
s College majoring in Psychology and International Studies, with minors in Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, and Asian Studies. 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!

GRACE MOORE
Hi! My name is Grace Moore, I’m a sophomore here at Towson and I studied abroad with the Italian Language & Culture in Venice program during Minimester 2023. I am majoring in International Business and minoring in Italian and Business Law. My favorite parts of studying abroad were immersing myself in another language, trying new foods, and making friendships that have continued back at Towson.

FRANCES ORTIZ
Hi! I am an International Studies major and a Political Science minor. I studied abroad twice: first in Madrid and Alicante in Summer 2022 on the TU Spanish Language in Spain program as well as on the TU Blacks in Great Britain: From Liverpool to London program in the United Kingdom during Minimester 2023.
My favorite memory from Spain was the view of the medieval castle in Segovia. I admired the architecture of the city, and everything looked like a scene from a movie to me. We even went on a tour of the castle’s interior. Fun fact: This castle inspired Disney’s iconic castle design.
My favorite memory from the U.K. was visiting the iconic red phone which was so close to Big Ben! I was so excited that I was able to see it in person. Also, my favorite was visiting the Harry Potter subway station and the gift shop; those chocolate frogs were delicious!

RYAN SEALFON
Hi, I am Ryan! I’m currently a senior majoring in Business Administration and Management with a focus on 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.
