EMJM in Education Policies for Global Development, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona & University of Cyprus
BM in Music Education, Susquehanna University

Luke Duceman, a native of Mount Carmel, PA, is a career pathway advisor at Dickinson College where he advises undergraduate students within the sectors of data, technology, and engineering in addition to nonprofit, education, and social impact. His prior experiences in higher education include being an assistant director of admissions at Lycoming College as well as teaching English at postsecondary technical schools in Costa Rica via two separate Fulbright fellowships. Further experience within the education sector includes his work as a recruiter for the US Migrant Education Program, interning for the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Youth Education and Training program, as well as teaching music in Pennsylvania public schools.

Luke holds an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) in Education Policies for Global Development (GLOBED) via a collaboration between the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the University of Cyprus. His thesis focused on how low-income secondary-aged students from Costa Rica are affected in their educational and work-related trajectories when their Avancemos conditional cash transfer benefits are unexpectedly removed. Luke also holds a Bachelor of Music in music education from Susquehanna University, where he studied saxophone under Dr. Gail B. Levinsky. In his free time, Luke enjoys…

• 💪 Weightlifting (still working toward that 225 bench for reps)
• ☕ Drinking way too much coffee (on his fourth cup of the day as he writes this)
