Pace Student Peer Advisors: Academic Year 2025–2026
Our office is also staffed by Pace students who we call "Pace Abroad Leaders" (PALs). PALs help to answer general questions about Pace study abroad programs. All PALs are returned study abroad students who are eager to share their experiences with you! They also participate in presentations to various students at Pace, sharing the student perspective about study abroad.
Max Oglesby
Max is a Sophomore at Pace, majoring in Digital Marketing, with minors in Graphic Design and Photography. His first experience with study abroad was taking a travel course to Greece his freshman year. He loved the experience and it showed him how meaningful studying in different cultures was. The most fulfilling part of studying abroad was the friends that Max made. He is now bonded with them and will share those experiences forever. He hopes to be a helpful guide and place of encouragement if you are ever thinking about studying abroad.
