Global Education and Study Away
Hopkins Hall, Room 210E
Christina Stoiciu has twenty years of professional experience in the field of international education. Christina obtained her undergraduate degree in English Literature from the University at Buffalo and her graduate degree in Higher Education Administration with a concentration in International Education from the George Washington University. Christina works closely with partners around the world to offer quality academic experiences. She is a member of NAFSA, Forum, and Diversity Abroad, and has served on a number of advisory boards with program providers in the field of international education and study abroad. Christina is a recipient of the 2016 NAFSA Lily von Klemperer Award for leadership and mentorship.
Christina believes strongly in the transformative power of international education as an important component of any academic plan. She was drawn to this work when she studied abroad for the first time as an undergraduate student in London. It was during this time that she realized the profound importance of multicultural and global understanding in an ever-changing and complex world. She has since traveled and assessed programs extensively across the globe and is dedicated to helping Williams students determine the best possible semester study away options for them. The office works hard to provide quality advising and programming for Williams students at every step of the process. We look forward to helping you!
Isabel Hansen
Assistant Director
Global Education and Study Away
Hopkins Hall, Room 210D
Isabel earned her bachelor’s degree in business management from Saint John Fisher College in Rochester, NY, and obtained her master’s degree in International Education Management/Leadership at The University at Albany. Prior to coming to Williams, Isabel worked at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY as their Assistant Director of Study Abroad.
While she was an undergraduate, Isabel studied abroad in Perth, Australia for a semester. This transformative experience is what led her to become an advocate for study away in order to help and encourage as many others to take advantage of this amazing opportunity offered during their college careers. While studying away may seem overwhelming at first, the office of Global Education and Study Away is a great resource for students. Please feel free to contact Isabel with any questions or concerns throughout any stage of the study away process!
