Study Abroad Graduation Sash

Order a graduation sash to represent your study abroad host country! Sashes can be ordered through Vision Wear International and can feature one or multiple countries. Make sure you are ordering far enough in advance for your sash to arrive before graduation. One country sashes usually ship within a week. Multi-country sashes take 3-4 weeks to ship.

Be A Global Ambassador

Did you have a life changing experience while studying abroad? Was there something you learned that you wished you had been told before you left? Work as a Global Ambassador for the RIT Education Abroad office and make an impact on other students as they prepare for their own profound overseas journey! All returned study abroad students are invited to apply - even if you only went abroad for a few weeks! As a Global Ambassador you'll help us recruit students by sharing your personal experience, photos and advice with students through a variety of RIT events including the Study Abroad Fair, information tables, Pre-Departure etc. and by connecting with students one-on-one. The Global Ambassador is a paid position, and we recruit students at the beginning of each fall semester. For more information contact Michelle Fitz (michelle.fitz@rit.edu).
