“Adventure is out there!” – Up  

Hello and welcome to the Global Learning Hub website!

My name is Nicole Uhlinger and I am the Global Learning Enrollment Lead. I help manage the enrollment for our UC Davis Faculty-Led Study Abroad programs (Summer Abroad, Summer Abroad Internships, Virtual Summer Internships and Quarter Abroad. I also serve as one of our Gilman Scholarship Advisors. I am a UC Davis alumna and received my B.A. in Communication and American Studies with a minor in History.

My interest in all things global began in high school where I was lucky enough to participate in two trips abroad. These trips opened my eyes to the world outside of my small high school and started my passion for adventure and travel.

While doing my undergraduate work at UC Davis, I participated in the Shakespeare-Live! Summer Abroad program which was one of the highlights of my college years at UC Davis. I discovered deeper meaning within many of Shakespeare’s famous works, a renewed passion for traveling, an appreciation for British culture and history, and even developed a stronger sense of self-confidence and independence.

After returning from my Study Abroad program I started working in the UC Davis Study Abroad office as a student administrative assistant. This job was perfect for me and fueled my passion for travel and helping other students have great experiences like I was fortunate enough to have!

After graduating from UC Davis I spent a month exploring Italy and then began my full time work at UC Davis Study Abroad. I’ve continued traveling when I can and am constantly adding new locations to my bucket list. Helping students explore their interests, see the world, and prepare for their future is what I love so much about working at the Global Learning Hub!
