Global Roadrunners – Study Abroad Peer Mentor Program

Study Abroad Peer Mentor

The Global Roadrunner Program is designed to engage returned study abroad students in the development and strengthening of a study abroad “culture” at Ramapo College of New Jersey. It is very exciting for a prospective participant to hear about study abroad from a peer’s perspective. Participation in this volunteer activity allows students to gain leadership experience, event planning skills, exposure to public speaking as well as a great resume builder.

Global Roadrunners assist the Study Abroad Advisor with classroom presentations, information tables, and other events throughout the year. Global Roadrunners plan their own events and meet with potential study abroad students in a peer advisor capacity. The time commitment depends on the individual and what they can fit into their schedule.  Any returning RCNJ study abroad student in good academic standing is eligible to become a Global Roadrunner. The Roukema Center for International Education is looking specifically for students who are passionate about their study abroad experience as well as international education as a whole. Each student must submit a completed Global Roadrunner application and resume. Those selected will then proceed to the interview phase where final students will be chosen.
