Alina Boorse

Hey Lutes 🙂 I’m Alina, and I’m fourth year student, doubling majoring in Global Studies & Environmental Studies with minors in Religion, French & Francophone Studies, and Holocaust & Genocide Studies. 

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in three study away programs during my time at PLU. In Spring of ’23, I did a semester program in Namibia. During J-Term 2024, I participated in a program to various cities in Italy. This past summer, I studied as a Peace Scholar in Oslo, Norway for seven weeks. 

My love for exploration sparked early and was a key reason I chose PLU. As a Global Ambassador, I’m eager to share that passion with others. During my study away programs, I embraced every opportunity to connect with the vibrant cultures and histories of Namibia, Italy, and Norway. These experiences have left an indelible mark on my soul, creating unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships—I want the same for you. Whether you’re considering a semester abroad or a short-term course, I’m here to show that study away can fit into any academic plan while ensuring you graduate on time. I’m here to support you in every step in making the most of your global educational opportunities.
