Working for EUSA

With locations spread across nine time zones and individual jobs that vary from accountancy to dealing with a middle of the night phone call from a student who needs emergency assistance, it may seem difficult to generalize about “EUSAns.” But there are common threads: we are hard working, eager to learn and teach about living in different cultures (many of us are live and work far from our country of birth), adaptable, innovative, dedicated to our students, and…fun!
