      • Assistant Director for Institutional Relations

As the Assistant Director for Institutional Relations at Temple University Education Abroad & Overseas Campuses, Sarah builds and manages relationships with other colleges and universities in the U.S., in order to recruit non-Temple students to study abroad at the Temple semester programs in Rome, Italy; Tokyo, Japan; and Oviedo, Spain; as well as at Temple’s summer programs worldwide. As part of this mission, she travels frequently and widely to meet with administrators, faculty, and students to promote and advise on Temple’s opportunities abroad. Sarah is committed to increasing non-Temple enrollment, as a more diverse group of students going abroad increases the level of enrichment both inside and outside of the classroom.

In her work at Temple, Sarah also serves as one of the founding members of Education Abroad’s sustainability committee, also called Temple Global Green. In this capacity, Sarah oversees the Global Green Grant program, mentoring student grant recipients to complete sustainability-oriented projects during their time abroad that align with both the students’ professional and academic goals and the needs of the host community. Other facets of this role include creating pre-departure resources, planning events, presenting at professional conferences, collaborating with Temple’s Office of Sustainability, and more.

Previously, Sarah was the Study Abroad Recruiting and Marketing Coordinator for Hollins University, where she performed similar institutional relations and marketing work for the university’s programs in Paris and London. Prior to that role, she was a Learning Abroad Coordinator at the University of Utah. Sarah has been actively involved as a volunteer for the Fund for Education Abroad, the Lessons from Abroad regional conferences, and the Boston Area Study Abroad Association.

Sarah has her Masters in French from Middlebury College. She lived abroad in Paris for several years, first for graduate school at the Middlebury College School in Paris, including coursework at the Sorbonne, and then for work. While there, she worked as an English teacher, translator, and private tutor, in addition to working as a program assistant for the Middlebury College School in Paris. Earlier, Sarah completed her undergraduate studies at Christopher Newport University, where she majored in French and minored in music and theatre. Additionally, she completed an undergraduate semester with Advanced Studies in England, which included French translation coursework at the University of Oxford.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys traveling the world with her husband, singing, playing piano, learning new languages, cooking, and working out.
