Since middle school, Binghamton political science major, Adriana DiCocco has always hoped to one day study abroad — and Binghamton helped make that dream a reality. With nearly 1,000 through the SUNY system, DiCocco found the perfect fit in Salamanca, Spain, thanks to the guidance of the Office of International Education and Global Initiatives (IEGI).

“I have gotten really good at making connections because I had the opportunity to meet people of all different backgrounds, cultures and ages,” she said, reflecting on her time abroad.
