Joey Courtade
A Grand Valley graduate was named GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Alumni of the Year during an international education conference.
Joey Courtade, who graduated in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in
international relations and political science, said his experience in
New Zealand helped guide his decision to pursue a master’s degree at
New York University in higher education, with an emphasis on
international education.
Courtade spent the spring 2012 semester in New Zealand. As
GlobaLinks Alumni of the Year, Courtade was able to attend the NAFSA
Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, and network with other
international education professionals.
Courtade said he enjoyed learning about New Zealand’s culture and
how it is engrained in the daily lives of residents. He made a video
of his experiences, which can be viewed
here.
Courtade learned about GlobaLinks Learning Abroad through Grand
Valley’s Padnos International Center.
