Brittany Dhooge is a UMass Boston alumna who was introduced to the Office of Global Programs when she studied abroad through a UMass Boston exchange program at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy for a semester in the fall of 2013. She transferred to UMass Boston from the University of Connecticut, and immediately fell in love with the diversity and community at UMass Boston. Majoring in Political Science and minoring in Human Rights and International Relations, she graduated summa cum laude in May of 2015. During her time at UMass Boston, she volunteered in the Office of Global Programs as a Global Ambassador. After 2 years of working as a part-time study abroad assistant, she joined the Global Programs team as the study abroad coordinator in the summer of 2018. She has a passion for travel and seeks to give as many UMass Boston students the same life-changing opportunity that was awarded to her to study abroad. 

 


Every semester, the Office of Global Programs staff is supported by work study students in providing services to UMass Boston students. Work study students help with back-office operations and assist incoming students at the reception desk.
