Benvenuto Bienvenida Bienvenue Welcome Marina G., Florence Summer 2016 • SAI 2016 Photo contest participant “I studied abroad in Florence, Italy and took a day trip to Venice. Of course I had to take a gondola ride and it was absolutely magical! Photos and videos don’t do the experience justice.”

Dear Students, Parents and Colleagues, I still vividly recall the first time I landed in a foreign country as a young person. My senses felt overloaded; everything was utterly different. And my world changed. The impact of study abroad on a young person’s life is immeasurable. Years later, while living in Italy with my family for 8 years and working in the field of international education, it was part of my job to know the college study opportunities available in Europe to English speaking students.

I also learned to determine the truly exceptional schools, ones that would be an outstanding experience for any student. Back then my work was with secondary students, high school students living abroad and choosing a college soon, some even staying in Italy. Once my family and I returned to the U.S. my interest in education abroad focused on options for college students and it was evident at that time that opportunities were limited and difficult to access. As a result, in 1995, I began to build SAI, with the goal of making it possible for all students to experience study abroad, especially at these exceptional schools I’d come to know. • In 2017 SAI celebrates 22 years of service. SAI’s handson approach has enabled us to match each student’s needs with the finest study abroad options in Europe. Our students understand that SAI is an organization known for providing programs and services of distinguishing quality and always with a personal touch. • As President, I am committed to maintaining SAI as a small, personalized organization with staff who care for students and respond to their academic interests, cultural curiosities and career goals. As an intentionally small organization we are able to help each individual student feel comfortable in a new cultural environment.

And as a small organization we pay attention to the smallest details, allowing students the greatest access to learning and cultural exposure. • SAI is dedicated to introducing students to opportunities that encourage creative interaction across disciplines: communication, science, technology, art and design, economics and social sciences. In this way we seek to help students develop both the breadth and depth of creative thinking, cultural knowledge and professional skills, so when they return from their experience abroad they have a deeper understanding of themselves and the world.

We believe this will provide an advantage to them in their chosen careers and for the rest of their lives.

SAIPROGRAMS Career Preparedness INTERNSHIPS Internships are an excellent way to extend learning beyond the classroom, explore career options, and build professional networks. SAI internships, offered in many of our undergraduate programs, allow students to develop or improve language skills and gain real-world experience in professional environments.

LEADERSHIP We foster students’ leadership potential by offering a unique SAI Global Leadership Certificate as a part of some semester programs. Students in this SAI certificate program broaden their awareness of global issues and deepen their knowledge of the local host community’s role in an increasingly interconnected world through exploration of research, engagement in community service and interaction with experts and leaders.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERING Each SAI location offers students a variety of service activities in their community. Through volunteering, students examine real-life problems and collaborate with local residents to address community needs. Volunteers are able to explore a field of their interest, and build skills that can transfer into their future careers.

Often, students are transformed from the service experiences and discover a new sense of their own identities and their roles as global citizens.

Community Emphasis Community is at the root of everything we do. We provide a sense of community both for study abroad students, and the people and places that welcome them.

SAI ACTIVITIES & EXCURSIONS SAI offers an active calendar of social events and excursions each term. These activities encourage social interaction between students while including elements designed to foster greater cross-cultural competency and a deeper understanding of the local community. Activities include hands-on culinary demonstrations, sporting events, musical concerts, theater performances, and museum visits, as well as all-day and weekend trips to nearby towns and attractions.

Throughout the term, SAI on-site staff members hold daily office hours and are available to offer assistance with personal and academic challenges that are common when studying abroad. Program coordinators serve as advocates and advisors, offering support, guidance, and encouragement, and acting as liaisons between students and host school administrators.

SAI programs also offer unique courses that integrate subjects with the local community’s context.

SAIPROGRAMS Leading Services SAI programs stand out for our services, ranging from our exceptional housing, to our 24-hour support on-site.

HOUSING Learning to live in a new environment is an important part of the study abroad experience. SAI recognizes the importance of safe and comfortable living spaces that help students make new friends and build community. Over our 20+ years of operation, we have earned an excellent reputation for providing housing for students in beautiful apartments, as well as family homestays in some locations.

Student Shared Apartments SAI student apartments are located in buildings and areas shared by local residents throughout the host cities. This grants students exposure to everyday life in that city: shopping at local markets, enjoying a morning coffee at the neighborhood cafe, and establishing relationships with other locals in the building or around the neighborhood. SAI apartments are within a 45 minute walk or commute to school, with most within 30 minutes. Each SAI apartment is unique in size, age, floor plan, and number of bedrooms. SAI offers shared and private bedrooms and all apartments are clean and well equipped with basic furnishings, a kitchen, living area and bathroom. In some SAI locations, students can add Premium Services for a supplementary fee, which includes weekly cleaning and laundry services, and bi-weekly linen change.

Family Homestays Family homestays are available in some locations and are a terrific way to ensure that language skills and cultural knowledge grow.

Homestay families are thoroughly screened and are accustomed to welcoming visiting students into their homes. Homestays provide a shared or single bedroom in the family home with basic furnishings. Included meals vary by city.

“My SAI apartment was amazing. Living in the same building as Italian locals and having Italian neighbors right across the street gave me a great sense of the Italian culture, and made me feel more integrated in the community.� ~ Florence student 8

SAIPROGRAMS ON-SITE SUPPORT Each SAI city has on-site staff dedicated to ensuring a productive, safe, and unforgettable experience abroad. SAI on-site support includes airport pickup and a thorough orientation so that students experience a smooth transition into their host culture.

SAI staff is available throughout the term to provide academic and personal support, and manages a rich calendar of events and activities so that students can easily get to know one another and their community. SAI students also have the benefit of receiving a host country cell phone for ease of communication.

HEALTH & SAFETY Student safety, security, and health are of primary importance to SAI, and our students have peace of mind knowing that onsite staff is always available to help should they need it. In the event of serious safety or health issues, students can contact our 24-hour emergency phone number for immediate assistance. We manage a clear communication system should the need arise to contact all students or their emergency contacts at home. Our on-site staff can provide experience and translation with medical professionals, police, and the like, as well as a supportive environment. Additionally, all SAI students are covered by a student health insurance plan with coverage for English-speaking high quality medical care.

PASSPORT, VISA & TRAVEL Student visa application and requirements can sometimes be stressful for study abroad students. For this reason, SAI has a dedicated visa office to assist students throughout their passport application and visa process. Our visa office is available to answer any questions and concerns, and provides students with simple step-by-step guides to complete their applications. In some instances, our visa office is able to process student applications directly, to simplify the process further. To make travel simple, SAI has partnered with Waldorf Travel, a specialized travel agency providing the lowest available student-priced airline tickets.

RE-ENTRY & ALUMNI Returning home from studying abroad can be both difficult and exhilarating. Students often return home with a new excitement for their future, and a deepened interest in international education, travel, and global citizenship. SAI re-entry services welcome students home with the same community that welcomed them in their host country. We have simple re-entry procedures, and opportunities for students to become SAI alumni for life.

Can’t settle on the perfect location to study abroad in the summer? Studying in more than one place may be your answer. Studying abroad in two distinct cities allows students to get to know and become comfortable in two places, while also developing more varied cross-cultural understanding and experiencing their discipline in varying contexts.

Students studying in SAI multi-city programs experience different languages, cuisines, architecture, histories, and cultures, all in one program. SAI students in these programs are supported by on-site staff in each location, who help them make a seamless transition between their locations. Students are welcomed in each city, and are offered unique activities that help them to get to know their host city, and build a strong community.

SAI Multi-City Students in multi-city programs gain great independence as they learn to navigate the London Tube one week, and walk the streets of Milan’s fashion district the next. Multi-city students participate in all SAI activities in both locations, and have access to all school facilities. Additionally, SAI offers students the option of getting involved in various volunteer opportunities in each host city, including environmental cleanup, language tutoring, refugee assistance, and much more.

While in high school, I participated in an exchange program to Burgos, Spain and in the fall of 2016 returned to Spain for a semester abroad at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Studying abroad helped shape the way I think. In high school I hated Spanish.

I had signed up for the exchange program because I love to see and learn about new places. Once in Spain, I fell in love with speaking Spanish and learned what it is like to be a young adult in Spain.
