Brooke Shurer oversees study abroad programming, the Meredith in Italy site in Sansepolcro, and support for international students and scholars. Dr. Shurer has been an international educator for over 15 years and has previously worked in study abroad offices at UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State University, and Emory University. During college, she spent a semester abroad in Italy, which was the best decision of her college career. She has also worked in Wales and has traveled abroad widely (with many places still to explore!). Her current research explores the impact of pre-departure expectations on study abroad students’ academic, social, and cultural adjustment.
Dr. Shurer’s first job in international education was at Meredith’s Office of International Programs, where she interned as an undergraduate student. She was happy to return to her first “professional home” in 2013 and loves being a member of the Meredith community!
