TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY

Oleksandra Sehin, PhD, Education Abroad Assistant Director at Texas State University, has an extraordinary journey that took her from the small town of Lviv, Ukraine, to the bustling campuses of the United States. With an inspiring story of resilience and determination, she has become a prominent advocate for international education.

“I’m Oleksandra, but I often go by Alexandra,” she said. “Even though I earned a PhD from Texas State University, I keep my introduction simple. I’m from Ukraine, originally from Lviv, where I spent the first 23 years of my life.”
