Gaurdians Abroad

Guardians Abroad Program
International and Out-of-State Student Services

“We’re your eyes and ears…when you're not here!”

Guardians Abroad is a program led by our qualified social workers who serve as personal mentors and guidance counselors for students living away from their families while they attend college. No longer do young international and out-of-state students have to face the solitude, uncertainty, and potential risks of living on their own while studying abroad in an unfamiliar city. We are here to protect your most precious assets; to guide and watch over them and to provide both parents and students with a sense of safety and security. We are also here to offer guidance in the face of personal challenges that arise while living away from home and far from the watchful eye and protection of mom & dad.

Our objectives include:

• To provide students with personalized support and assistance.

• To empower students to navigate the academic & bureaucratic maze and access
needed resources.
• To guide students towards a path of self-sufficiency & responsibility.
• To ensure the most optimal educational & cultural experience.
