crisis resulting in fewer job opportunities and more competition for existing jobs, it’s clear a college
education – and better still, an international one – is becoming more a necessity than a luxury.

lectures from international universities, and network with students, professors, and prospective employers

As these global education trends continue to create wonderful opportunities for international
networking in the academic arena, we can be hopeful that this spirit of global cooperation will result in
lasting positive effects on foreign relations in the long term.
