PARTNER Newsletter

We’ve reached the new semester and we know that for each of our partners that looks very different. Some of you are online, others are in-person and the remainder are a hybrid. We also know that across the board you’ve been working hard to ensure the actions you do take this semester will be successful for students and your institution. As you’re settling in, we look forward to providing you with continued support in growing your international student population in the semesters ahead.

We hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter as it’s devoted to our esteemed partners like you. Until next month, stay well.

Our 15th Annual Travel Video Contest is Now Open

We’ve updated the name to TVC: Life After Lockdown and for this year’s theme, we’re asking current, interrupted and future international students and cultural exchange participants to submit a two minute or less video discussing one or both of the following:

  • How COVID-19 has impacted their international education or cultural exchange experience abroad
  • Their ideal international education or cultural exchange after COVID-19

The contest is now open for submissions until October 13, 2020. Students and cultural exchange participants interested in entering can visit our website to find all of the contest details, including the full contest timeline, rules and regulations and instructions on how to enter.

Keeping Your Profile Updated During COVID-19

Has your school made special accommodations for current or prospective students during COVID-19?

If you would like to add a new section that highlights your efforts or update your current COVID-19 section on your profile, let us know and we’ll be happy to make those changes for you.
