Presenter: Rachel Hardison
Hi! I’m Rachel Hardison and I am a University Relations Coordinator for USAC. Although USAC’s main office is at the University of Nevada in Reno, I am based just down the road in Columbia, SC. I work with universities like UNCC who collaborate with USAC to help students study abroad. My own study abroad experience included a semester study abroad in Germany as an undergraduate, followed by two years teaching in Germany before I returned for graduate school. Studying abroad changed the course of my life and helped me grow into the person I am today, and I truly believe that it can benefit anyone who takes advantage of the opportunity. I look forward to speaking with you about your goals for studying abroad!
