Site Visits for Study Abroad Professionals
I. Virtual Site Visits
SRAS virtual site visits can introduce you to the local host institution abroad, as well as showcase our instructors in action with students, and award a scholarship for students from your institution to study abroad with us. All upcoming virtual site visits will be announced on our events page. If you do not see a location you would like to see, contact us to let us know.
II. Site Visits in Person
We would love to welcome you abroad! During a site visit, you can meet our local staff, join classes, tour the campus and host city, participate in some of our organized excursions and activities, and gain insight into the student experience with SRAS.
If you are a current or prospective affiliate, contact us! We can talk about what you’ll need to do abroad, what you’ll want to do abroad, and together start planning your trip!
III. Or, We Can Come To You!
We can come to your campus to take part in study abroad fairs and to present on our programs, locations, and organization. You can see where we currently are here. We’ll be glad to run an info session, visit your classroom, and/or meet with your administration – either in person or virtually. We look forward to hearing from you!

SRAS looks forward to welcoming you abroad, to visiting your campus and students, and/or to meeting you someplace in the middle. We can’t wait to see how our organization can help your students meet their educational goals!
Just yesterday my student successfully defended her honors thesis on environmentalism around Lake Baikal, a project that would not have been possible without the fieldwork that she conducted on her SRAS study abroad program in Irkutsk. I hope to see more such projects in the future and will keep directing students to SRAS programs!
At Stetson, we’ve used SRAS to arrange all of our student study abroad trips for the past five or six years. During that time we’ve sent dozens of students on summer- and semester-long programs in Moscow, St Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Irkutsk. In every interaction I’ve had with them, SRAS has been prompt, reliable, knowledgable, courteous and quick to lend a hand when needed.
