Please check the Peer Advisor's availability by clicking on their name below, then schedule an appointment.

 

Hello! My name is Logan Wilson, and I’m a double major in History and Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies. Two summers ago I spent studying Arabic in Morocco. I went on the Fall '24 Extended Study to Hawaii and just returned from the Spring '24 London History Study Group. I'd be happy to discuss any opportunities that interest you, share my experiences studying abroad, and address any questions you may have!
