International Plan Assistant Director: Jennifer Evanuik

IP Newsletter, March 2013http://internationalplan.gatech.edu/students

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA but have lived in the South since 2007. Ever since taking

French class in 5th grade, I have been fascinated with learning about different cultures. I

received a B.S. in French and International Business from Penn State University. During

that time, I studied abroad in Paris. Upon returning to the US, I became a peer advisor

at Penn States study abroad office. I enjoyed helping my peers navigate the process of

study abroad, which led me to explore working professionally in the field. I attended the

University of Pittsburgh for graduate school, where my Masters program allowed me to

study higher education administration, comparative international education, and

models for intercultural engagement. I also got to study abroad again, this time in Peru!

In February 2007, I joined the Office of International Education at Georgia Tech as an

advisor for exchange programs in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. In that

position, I was in charge of intercultural orientations, re-entry programming, and thetransfer credit process. I transitioned into working with the International Plan in early

2011, but moved to Charlotte later that year to join my husband who was working

there. During my time in Charlotte, I have continued working in international education

at Providence Day School and Davidson College. I am very excited to have the

opportunity to return to Atlanta and Georgia Tech and serve as the Assistant Director for

the IP. I look forward to working with all of you as you progress through the IP and your

international journeys!
