Description:
Every year, hundreds
of thousands of university students go abroad to study, do internships, or gain
other intercultural experiences.

workforce—and students, governments, and employers increasingly expect to see
evidence of exchange programs’ effectiveness in developing students’
intercultural skills. In this competitive environment, it is crucial for
international exchange organizations to be able to prove the value and impact
of their programs.
Join
us for this opportunity to hear from the CEO of Cultural Vistas—an
international exchange organization with roots stretching back to the
1950s—about impact and international exchange.
The
first half of the presentation will be followed by an informal conversation
with Rob for those considering careers in international exchange and education.
