Experience
Student Stories & Mentors
Who better to share the transformative Semester at Sea experience than students themselves? You can chat with recent alumni directly via our Global Ambassador Program or Diversity Peer Mentor Program, or you can scroll below and explore more student stories!
Global Ambassador Program
Global Ambassadors are recent alumni who are still enrolled as undergraduate students — possibly at your campus or a campus near you! They are trained to answer questions you may have about the program and share their unique experiences.
Diversity Peer Mentor Program
Before and after each voyage, SAS can connect recent alumni with prospective voyagers who share similar identities. This is designed to be an informal mentoring program to share personal voyage experiences. Although we cannot guarantee to meet all mentorship requests, we will do our best to pair as many mentors and mentees as possible.

Introducing our Fifth Through The Lens Feature Voyage 137: Lhassa Le Gall Di Rienzo, an International Development, Economics, and Social Entrepreneurship student at McGill University (@lhassaslens )
“I’ve always found myself to be a creative person. But I’ve struggled to find an outlet. I don’t know how to draw or how to paint, and making music didn’t come easily to me. Recently, I’ve discovered the camera. I’ve experimented with multiple styles and, quite frankly I’m still not sure I’ve found my lane. All I know is that I’m passionate about telling untold stories and showing the raw, authentic, and unpolished side of people and places. From the medinas of Tangier, Tétouan, and Fès, to the hilltops of Kitema, these portraits and landscapes tell the story of my journey across 800 km of Morocco “
