Trend watch: international education in the US
Education leaders, learners and changemakers from more than 100 countries connected at #NAFSA75 last week to explore how to inspire an inclusive future in international education.
Here are the three top event takeaways from Study Group’s Steve Pinches, Alex Marston and July Behl.
#1 Employment Preparation
"Preparing career-ready graduates goes beyond traditional teaching. Specialist employment support and preparation is crucial to help international students navigate a more complex transition in the US from campus to career."
Steve Pinches, Chief Product Officer
#2 Diversity Commitment
"Pre-pandemic paradigms will not return. Institutions across North America need to address the growing application demand across South Asia to diversify their international student body, removing over-reliance on any one country and building long term resilience."
Alex Marston, Partnership Development Director, North America
#3 Country Competition
"More countries than ever are competing for international students, recognising they enrich cultures, economies, academia, and research. To unlock the aspirations of students, institutions and nations, we need to create meaningful and sustainable partnerships."
July Behl, Executive Director, Partner Acquisition and Development
