Vania advises and supports students who are seeking global opportunities in the Semester Abroad (SA) program. Vania joins Penn Abroad from Temple University, where she worked in undergraduate admissions – work that spanned beyond their main campus encompassing both their Rome and Japan campuses. Vania’s commitment to global education was first fostered in high school during her independent study abroad experience in Köln, Germany. This passion continued to flourish during her undergraduate years at Franklin & Marshall College, where she double majored in Africana Studies and German Literature & Language, and further deepened through a summer study abroad experience in Cape Town, South Africa.
