Hi there! Bonjour, Bonjourno, and Salama! ☀️ 

My name is Maddie Jeffery, and I am a senior at Baker College studying Integrative Biology and French Studies as a pre-grad dual-degree student. Whether through the Office of Study Abroad, CLIC, or RGP, I’ve seized every opportunity to study abroad, and I can’t wait to help you do the same! 

Here are the programs I’ve done during my time at Rice:

Through the Office of Study Abroad:

• SIT Madagascar: Natural Resource and Biodiversity Management – Fall 2024
• SIT Italy: Food Security and Nutrition – Summer 2024

Through Rice Faculty-led Programs:

• Rice in France – Summer 2023
• Rice Global Paris MDHM 280: Creative Writing for Medical Humanities – Summer 2025

Feel free to talk to me about anything! I’d love to discuss how you can include studying abroad in a busy course load or while balancing multiple majors, minors, or degrees. I’m also a trove of knowledge when it comes to navigating language barriers, discovering a home away from home, being LGBTQ+ (Aspec) abroad, and accessing scholarships or financial aid. Come to me with any questions!
