SXSW EDU 2019

The Fight for International Ed in Turbulent Times

Description:

From losing the market share to losing global influence, the steady increase of international students studying in the United States has turned into a decline. Yet, the soft power and economic benefit of international education is vital now more than ever. We discuss the necessity of international education in our global economy, and why the work doesn’t stop when regimes change and student streams start to slow. Join us for a look at shifting language and the new era of international education.
