Meet our Overseas Hawks Ambassador!
Marisa Guy
Major: Political Science, Environmental Studies (Art Minor)
Study Abroad Program: Amideast Morocco, Spring 2020
“The Amideast abroad program’s aimed to help create a narrative of the Middle East that many western people are not capable of gaining due to western narrative and western media. My goal is to make sure that the next Black girl or low-income student who goes abroad is properly prepared and knows what to
expect.”
