We are excited to share that Barcelona SAE will be exhibiting and presenting at the upcoming NAFSA Annual Conference in Washington DC.
With our exclusive focus on this Mediterranean city, Barcelona SAE is a boutique study abroad and internship program that provides personalized attention. Ask any of our alumni and you’ll learn about their unforgettable academic, cultural, and professional experience – one that was beneficial not only during their time in Barcelona, but has given them a personal and professional advantage for the rest of their lives.
If you would like to learn more about our variety of program options, we invite you to stop by Booth #838 to say hola or book a time to meet with members of our equipo (team) that will be in attendance:

I’M NEW & SITTING IN ON OTHER MEETINGS

We invite you to join us for the following sessions:
You’re On Mute: Disruptive Leadership Strategies for Today’s Realities
Wednesday, May 31st
4:30 PM – 5:20 PM EDT
Student mobility has largely rebounded but shifts in workplace culture and employment trends require new skills—and a new playbook. This session explores leadership and team-building strategies that have inspired presenters to rethink the way they lead their teams. Presenters bring diverse perspectives to offer tangible and inspiring takeaways.
Presenters:
- Miko McFarland (Barcelona SAE)
- Rich Kurtzman (Barcelona SAE)

LGBTQIA and Z: Today’s Queer Students Navigating Complex Policy Landscapes
Friday, June 2nd
9:30 AM – 10:20 AM EDT
Policies like ”Don’t Say Gay” and “LGBT-free zones” impact student learning and wellbeing on campus and abroad; particularly for Gen Z, in which 1 in 5 identify as LGBTQIA+. Through relevant data and case study exploration, this critical session is a call to action for all international educators.
Presenters:
- Adrienne Theune (University of Central Florida)
- William Patrick Bingham (Wake Forest University)
