Message from the 2025-26 Global Ambassador (GA) Team Leader

Jenni Garcia headshot.

Jennifer Garcia is an Honors College student majoring in Accounting in the Coles College of Business. She is also pursuing two minors in Japanese and Advertising & Digital Marketing.

My name is Jenni Garcia and I am the Global Ambassador Team Leader for the 2025-2026 academic year! 

Participating in an education abroad program greatly impacted my life. Before leaving, I didn’t know what to expect about life in Tokyo, Japan. Over time I discovered that beyond enjoying the culture and visiting popular destinations, the real value came from the challenges and lessons of living in a new country. During my year abroad I learned how to live independently, navigate Japan’s complex transportation systems, and communicate in an entirely different language. As the child of immigrant parents, this experience also gave me a deeper appreciation for what they experienced when they first arrived in the United States. Starting fresh in a new country can feel overwhelming. I, along with the Global Ambassadors, are here to support you as you pursue global experiences both on campus and abroad. 

I look forward to connecting with you and hearing about your future journeys!
