Connect with Chloe, Evan, and Norma

Each year, Yale Study Abroad hires returned students to serve as Study Abroad Student Outreach Coordinators (OCs). Having experienced study abroad firsthand, our OCs are enthusiastic ambassadors who organize events, share information about opportunities, and connect you with the many resources Yale offers.

Evan Bowman (she/her)

Timothy Dwight, '26

Evan is a senior in Timothy Dwight College from Los Angeles, California. She is a pre-medical student majoring in History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. Evan studied abroad through the SIT IHP Health & Community program in New Delhi, India, Cape Town, South Africa, and Buenos Aires, Argentina in Spring 2024. This program gave her a new perspective on social medicine, global human rights, and anthropological research that she’s excited to bring back to her HSHM and public health classes at Yale. These experiences confirmed her passion for global health and are her inspiration for leading the Yale Humanities in Medicine Celebrations event and her aspiration to work on public health policy in her career. Most recently, Evan studied abroad in Summer 2025 with SFS in Kimana, Kenya studying Elephant Ecology and Conservation, strengthening her love of science and elephants!

Norma Mejia (she/her)

Branford, '26

Norma is a senior in Branford College from Houston, Texas. She is pursuing a degree in Film and Media Studies with a certificate in Education Studies. On campus, she is involved in student film productions, content creation, and volunteers as a tutor for elementary school students. Norma studied abroad through IES Barcelona in Spring 2024 and the Pembroke Cambridge Summer Programme, in Summer 2024. Her time in Barcelona and Cambridge was a blend of cultural immersion and creative growth. These experiences, combining cultural immersion and creative exploration, deepens her passion for experimental photography and film production—interests she now brings into her projects at Yale. Norma looks forward to connecting with students who are eager to complement their Yale experience with a study abroad program that best suits their goals and interests.
