“Studying abroad was the best decision of my life! I can’t say that enough.”
Those are the words of CSULB student Raychel Ruiz, who spent the first half of 2017 as an Education Abroad student at the Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX) in Aarhus, Denmark. The oldest and largest educational institution that offers journalism courses in that country, DMJX ended up being a perfect fit for Ruiz—even if she didn’t quite know what she was getting into.

Lee remembers August 18th, 2013 as the day that changed her life.
That’s when she came to the United States for the first time. She barely
had time to register any culture shock before she arrived on campus at
CSULB for orientation the next day. It was a whirlwind journey from her
native South Korea, but she needed to get acclimated to her new home
quickly. Fortunately, following a recommendation from a friend, CSULB’s
American Language Institute (ALI) was there to welcome her.

Miramontes, a graduate of CSULB’s Bachelor of
Science in Mechanical Engineering Degree Completion program in the
Antelope Valley, currently works in his dream job as a Numerical
Controls Programmer for Lockheed Martin, a highly technical position
where complex theory meets hands-on aircraft design.
“I have always wanted to go into
the aerospace industry,” said Luis Miramontes, “and when I heard there
was a program that was created in the aerospace capitol, I felt like it
was meant to be.”

When he’s not in his office on campus, CCPE Dean Jeet Joshee is often catching a plane and heading off to other countries in his dual role as the Associate Vice President of International Education and Global Engagement. As part of his mission to spread awareness of CSULB’s international programs, Joshee spent nearly two weeks in May on a multi-purpose trip to China and Nepal. In addition to sharing educational program information with prospective international students, he also met with university partners, government officials, and media outlets to help expand CSULB’s global network of communities.
