Verónica Garciá Montero
Every Central College Abroad program boasts a resident director who plays a unique role in students’ experience. Directors provide academic advising; teach a hands-on seminar, where students learn about the host city and then experience it first hand; and lead the cultural excursions connected to the seminar class. Central College Abroad takes pride in the personalized attention that it can provide its students.

Verónica García Montero, the resident director in Granada, is a native of southern Spain and brings a wealth of knowledge about Granada and all of Spain to the program. Verónica received a Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Granada.

Veronica loves to share experiences with her students, whether they are stories from her own past study abroad experience or talking to students about their integration into the Granada culture. She encourages students to get out of their comfort zones, because she finds they leave with a more enriching experience, not to mention a better awareness of cultural differences when they get to know other Spaniards and international students.

On a personal note, Veronica enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, walking through Granada’s natural parks or swimming in the beaches of Cadiz. She loves to stay in touch with program alums through social networking tools like Facebook.
