Peer Advisor
Hello, my name is Evin Kolbjornsen and I am a senior at UMD majoring in Business Management and minoring in International Business and Marketing. I studied abroad in Zagreb, Croatia at the Zagreb School of Economics and Business Management. I enjoyed every second of my time out there and would do it all over again. I'm excited to share my experiences and encourage others to take the leap as I did.
