Workshop Seven

Ready to Pounce: Checklist for Restarting Travel

Over the course of the year, we've heard from many colleagues and clients about their frustrations and fears surrounding Covid-19 and its effects on our industry.

During this workshop you'll hear from institutions who currently have students abroad and are officially open this fall and upcoming spring. Yes, you read that right. We'll give you their insights and discuss the next steps you can take to ensure international education is ready for its ultimate comeback in 2021.

Cost: Priceless, along with $35.
Includes: 1-Hour presentation and insights from institutions who never chose to close study abroad, Q&A with our consultants, kid-free time for working parents, and as always our favorite relatable memes.
