A 
ew sta members rom last semester are now applying or jobs andgraduate programs and we’ve been asked to write letters o recommen-dation. So ar I’ve ound this experience to be both fattering and hum-bling or two reasons. First, why would anyone want our opinion? Our publisherisn’t old enough to rent a car. Second, why would anyone rom
an MBA program
 want our opinion? We wouldn’t get accepted even i we cheated on the GREs.Regardless, we were happy to oblige. We might as well help our riends suc-ceed and go places in their young careers. By the same token, we’ve spent thepast year living vicariously through students’ adventures as budding world trav-elers.It’s always a little surprising when the phone rings and it’s someone rom anesteemed organization who’s called to hear our opinion. And it’s starting tohappen too requently to shrug it o as a fuke. Still, at this point, we preer tobe the ones doing the listening instead o the talking.To this end, issue 3 marks the creation o InPRINT’s letters section, wherewe’ve devoted an open orum or our readers to share their thoughts about anyaspect o the international education community. We’ve started this editionwith three upbeat comments, because, ater all, our egos are ragile. But in theuture, we hope to inspire students and educators alike to voice a diversity oopinions with Caé Abroad. Email
