Brigitta Richmond

As director of summer/short-term study abroad programs within Notre Dame Global, Brigitta Richmond is responsible for implementing the strategy and operations plan of Notre Dame Global's summer and short-term study abroad programs. She collaborates across NDG's global network and other campus departments to support the institution's overall goals and provides cross-cultural, analytic, and linguistic support in special projects and initiatives. Brigitta also advocates for underrepresented students in study abroad; as a first-generation college student herself, she prioritized providing opportunities for students to share their stories through the student lens.

Brigitta has traveled extensively in both her academic and personal life. She has lived in Austria, Hungary, and Romania and is fluent in Hungarian. As an immigrant and through her travels as a young child, Brigitta became passionate about international education early on. While she enjoys promoting study abroad to students, she is also an advocate for people finding opportunities to internationalize their careers. At a national level, she has been involved in the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) Annual Briefing and Women in Security Conference, collaborating on the sexual violence awareness abroad project.

Brigitta holds two M.A.s in nationalism from Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, and an M.A. in cultural anthropology from Ball State University.
