It has been linked to in and on early-career wages. And with in the U.S. dependent on international trade, a globally competent workforce is more important than ever. 
Yet the education abroad field faces challenges, including funding uncertainty, U.S. national policy changes, and increased restrictions on global movement that threaten the ability of students to access these career-defining opportunities. 

That’s why 韩国三级片is stepping up to lead a field-wide campaign showcasing the power of education abroad to drive economic and career success. “Education Abroad: The Career Catalyst” will center student and alumni voices and data-driven outcomes to demonstrate the value of education abroad. The campaign’s goal is to ensure these transformative opportunities are recognized, protected, and expanded so that future generations can experience the potent impacts of education abroad.

Key Campaign Initiatives 
To help build an evidence-based message about how international education experiences shape career paths and contribute to economic mobility, The Forum today launched that is open to anyone who has ever studied, interned, or researched abroad. The survey will remain open through Thursday, July 31, and results will be shared in September 2025. 

In addition to research into career outcomes, first-person perspectives will drive the campaign. To help students and recent alumni amplify their stories, The Forum is offering free virtual op-ed writing workshops that will offer advice on crafting, editing, and pitching compelling, public-facing pieces about the impact of education abroad. 

These two-part workshops will give participants effective tips from seasoned marketing and communications professionals, and they will include opportunities for op-ed drafts to be reviewed by a peer. Registration is open, with opportunities starting Monday, June 30. 

Field-Wide Support
The campaign is bringing together the education abroad community in an unprecedented way to collectively advocate for the importance of education abroad in strengthening careers and economies. By working together with a singular message, education abroad professionals, institutions, and organizations can more effectively protect and advance the future of education abroad.  

The Forum has published a to assist the field in coalescing around key themes and data points. The field-wide alumni survey will also offer broad evidence and data that will benefit all in the education abroad community. 

“It’s time to marshal all of the talent in our field behind a unified message: Education abroad drives positive career and economic outcomes,” said Melissa Torres, President & CEO of The Forum on Education Abroad. “With so much at stake for the future of our field, we must accelerate and amplify our efforts to underscore this message at every turn and ensure policymakers, leaders, and families understand how powerful these experiences truly are for individual career success and local economies. The support this campaign has generated so far has been inspiring, and I know that with the backing of our field, we can promote the impacts of education abroad in a way that has never before been achieved.”

The campaign is made possible through the generosity of its founding supporters: API Foundation, CEA CAPA, IES Abroad, ISEP Study Abroad, University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), WorldStrides Higher Education, Arizona State University Global Education, CIS Abroad, and Tennessee Consortium for International Studies.

Get Involved
Education abroad supporters can contribute to the campaign’s success through a number of ways:
  • , and share it with alumni networks, colleagues, friends, and peers in the field. A is available to help you spread the word. 
  • Share support on social media using #WorldWiseWorkReady. 
  • Invite students and alumni to register for our free op-ed workshops, starting June 30, so they can effectively share their stories in media outlets.

<![CDATA[Navigating Global Education: Insights from Leading Safety and Risk Management Professionals]]>Tue, 17 Jun 2025 23:17:35 GMT/news/navigating-global-education-insights-from-leading-safety-and-risk-management-professionalsWith the highest number of registrants in the event’s history, virtual programming for The Forum on Education Abroad’s Institute on Health, Safety, Security, and Risk Management 2025 took place on Tuesday, June 17. The virtual Institute featured more than 20 presenters across 12 sessions, with five rounds of concurrent programming and a closing collective recap. ​
​Four major themes anchored the day: program design; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); mental health; and regulatory compliance—all considered through the lens of health, safety, security, and risk management.
 
 
“This annual gathering has become the premier event in health, safety, security, and risk management for the field of education abroad,” said Marissa Lombardi, Vice President and Chief Learning Officer at The Forum, about this year’s event. “It’s where professionals across institutions, sectors, and experience levels come together to share insight, confront emerging challenges, and develop best practices. The depth of expertise and collaboration we see here each year is unmatched—and this year’s record-setting attendance affirms just how vital this work is to the future of global education.” 

Kyle Rausch, Institute Committee Co-Chair and Forum Council Member, agreed, sharing: “Today we celebrate how far the Institute has come thanks to the dedication of many, it now draws professionals at all career stages and from a wide range of fields. It's this diversity and collaborative spirit that make the institute so special.” 

Preparing for the Future of the Field 
Bringing together voices from across the field—higher education, corporate security, legal, and global risk—the opening virtual plenary panel explored the evolving role of health and safety professionals, the value of interdisciplinary experience, and the pressing challenges that will influence the next decade of international education. 

Panelists included: 
  • Eric Benjaminson: Former U.S. Ambassador to Gabon and Sao Tome & Principe, previously Study Abroad Assistant Director for Safety & Health at the University of Chicago 
  • Terence Miller, J.D.: Senior Search Consultant at Gateway International Group, LLC, leading the Duty of Care and International Regulatory Solutions 
  • Morgan Morris Inabinet: Director, Education Abroad Office, University of South Carolina 
  • Jaime Signoracci: Associate Director, Global Security Operations Center, AbbVie 
  • Shaun Jamieson: International Risk Manager, Iowa State University, Institute Committee Co-Chair (moderator)  ​​
 The opening plenary panel highlighted how professionals are adapting to meet the demands of an increasingly complex global landscape. Read more about their valuable discussion below. 

Staying Calm in Crisis 
Panelists opened by reflecting on the skills they brought to international education from other industries. Inabinet shared a formative moment from her early days working in restaurants, learning the value of staying calm under pressure. “If you can remain calm, think clearly—even high-level leaders will look at you like a wizard,” she said. Benjaminson, drawing on his diplomatic experience in the Foreign Service, emphasized the importance of responding with steadiness: “Everything you’re dealing with can easily get worse. Just tap things where they are and don’t add to it by overreacting or reacting in the wrong way. Just trying to be almost a Buddhist about things that are happening is something that I strove for.” 

Signoracci added that her background in corporate security helped her bring a nuanced understanding of global risk to her role in higher ed. She also emphasized agility and flexibility: “Not just being able to pivot and try something new when something doesn't work out the first time, but also just the ability to be agile, agile in making decisions and being able to do that quickly.” 

Higher Education's Unique Complexity 
When asked about the distinctive challenges of managing global safety in higher education, panelists pointed to the diverse stakeholder groups—including students, parents, senior leadership, and vendors—that require highly adaptive communication styles. Signoracci noted the need to "code-switch" communication based on audience, a skill she honed while navigating conversations that ranged from concerned students to travel security committees. 

Benjaminson observed that higher education sometimes lacks the nuanced geopolitical understanding needed to fully assess risk abroad. “The world has changed a lot,” he warned, pointing to increased unpredictability and politicized information. “So, to the extent you can, take a deep breath and look at a broader range of views is helpful.” 

The Skill That Can’t Be Taught: Empathy 
Unsurprisingly, when asked what skills are most crucial beyond communication, nearly all panelists circled back to empathy. “The incidents that we're responding to are not just logistical. They're charged with human emotion and stress,” Inabinet said. She emphasized the rising importance of intercultural emotional intelligence—particularly in a world where student expectations include not only physical safety, but also social and identity-based support abroad. 

Miller stressed cultural competence as key to preparing for crises, especially on site. “How do you learn and try to enculturate into that reality—the political, economic, social—to really have those nuances so that when a crisis does emerge, you are able to understand the cultural context of what's going on,” he said. 

Signoracci added the importance of understanding insurance policies, decision-making authority, and assistance procedures before a crisis hits. “The number of risk events that are impactful or disruptive are only increasing and getting even more so impactful and disruptive. Being prepared and doing this homework in advance is only going to serve you in those situations and will pay dividends,” Signoracci said. 
  
Forecasting the Future: Climate, Compliance, and Capacity 
When looking ahead to the next five to 10 years, panelists pointed to climate change, regulatory compliance, and student expectations as converging risks. (Note: Our Health & Safety Institute Opening Plenary in Chicago on Wednesday, June 25, will be “Artic Lessons for a Warming World: Climate Change and Mobility Risk”.) 

Miller raised concerns about international legal infrastructure, particularly around employment and taxation laws in host countries. Inabinet noted the tension between a more unpredictable world and a student body expecting universities to guarantee broad protections: “Managing an increase in unpredictability and a student group that's really expecting more from us as an institution is going to be really difficult,” she said. 

Striking the Balance: Candid, Not Alarmist 
The plenary closed with a question on how to talk about risk without being an alarmist. Miller suggested emphasizing shared responsibility: “There has to be a responsibility of the participant in their own safety, health, and risk.” Benjaminson advised relying on local partners for accurate, ground-level insight. Signoracci stressed the power of data: “When you can use data or benchmarking or other sources of information to back up that this is a forecasted risk or something that we should keep an eye on or be concerned of or make a plan around, that really helps.” 

Jamieson summarized the takeaway: “Be judicious with how you are communicating during routine risk events and make sure that you're communicating in a non-alarmist way.” 
 
Final Words: Leadership Through Trust and Empathy 
In closing, Miller reminded attendees that the legal standard is “reasonable care,” and encouraged new professionals not to be overwhelmed. “It is not rocket science or anything else if you're empathetic and there's reasonable care, which is the legal standard,” said Miller. “Keep that in mind as you go through this and carry out your responsibilities.” 
  
Signoracci urged professionals to reframe their roles: “As we look ahead, treat your role as a trusted geopolitical advisor; it’s going to be more normal as time goes on.” 
  
With this powerful conversation setting the tone, Health & Safety Institute virtual attendees entered the day’s sessions energized, informed, and reminded of their vital role in guiding students through an increasingly complex world. 
  
This year’s Institute on Health, Safety, Security, and Risk Management will continue in Chicago, Illinois, with our in-person event from June 25-27. Special thanks to the University of Illinois Chicago and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for hosting our Chicago event. We also want to share our gratitude for this year’s Institute Committee Members, our 2025 Institute sponsors, as well as our Forum team, presenters, and registrants for making the 16th Institute possible.

<![CDATA[Building Bridges, Not Just Programs: Regional Seminar Reimagines Education Abroad in Morocco]]>Thu, 22 May 2025 18:36:45 GMT/news/building-bridges-not-just-programs-regional-seminar-reimagines-education-abroad-in-moroccoOn May 17, 2025, 韩国三级片held its first-ever event in Morocco and in Africa at large. The Regional Seminar, “Education Abroad as a Bridge to the Future: Innovations in Partnership and Pedagogy,” was co-hosted by The Forum and the at . Bringing together education abroad practitioners, university faculty, program providers, and government representatives, the one-day event combined vibrant panel discussions and collaborative breakout sessions focused on experiential pedagogies, regional strengths, and the future of global partnership in and with Morocco. (A French translation is available at the end of this news story.)

Morocco is More than a Destination 

Long known for its strong language, culture, and heritage programs, Morocco is now gaining recognition as a regional leader in sustainability and innovation. Ranked as the third most popular destination in Africa for U.S. students and the second in the MENA region (Open Doors, 2024), Morocco stands at the forefront of redefining how education abroad can take root—and thrive—in Global South contexts. 

“Morocco offers more than just a destination,” said Yamina El Kirat El Allame, Ph.D., Former Director of the Moroccan Institute for Advanced Studies at Mohammed V University in Rabat. “We must dare to think differently about borders—not as barriers, but as bridges for learning and understanding.” 

Dr. El Kirat added, “We need to build better frameworks, stronger partnerships, and more courageous visions for what education abroad can be. True partnership means building laboratories of global citizenship and sustainability—not just programs, but purpose.” 

From Transactional to Transformative Partnerships 

Throughout the day, presenters and participants emphasized the need to move beyond transactional models of international exchange. Instead, they called for more intentional, inclusive, and transformative partnerships grounded in shared global challenges and mutual learning. 

Sessions throughout the day reflected that spirit of innovation and inclusivity. During one powerful panel, attendees heard directly from students alongside administrators, sharing real experiences and strategies to design programs that meet the full range of student needs.  

Other sessions explored evidence-based, high-impact teaching practices, with comparative pedagogical perspectives from educators in Morocco and abroad. Faculty and program leaders presented examples of how their philosophies and classroom strategies can inform future education abroad programming in Morocco, sparking thoughtful conversations around co-creation, inclusion, and curricular relevance. 

“Looking forward, we must create new models, build mutual understanding, practice inclusive pedagogy, and embrace global responsibility,” said Oussama El Addouli, Ph.D., Center Director at IES Abroad Morocco.

A Collective Focus on Growth 

“The Forum brought together diverse Moroccan institutions and education abroad program providers for this Regional Seminar,” Dr. El Addouli added. “This is a powerful reflection of our shared commitment to growing education abroad in thoughtful, inclusive ways. We’re energized by the conversations sparked during the event and look forward to building on this momentum to create lasting impact—for Morocco and for the students who choose to learn here.” 

The energy and insights shared throughout the day reflected a collective readiness to reimagine education abroad in Morocco with a focus on mutual learning, cultural exchange, and inclusive practices. As the seminar unfolded, it became clear that education abroad in Morocco isn’t just expanding; it’s evolving with purpose, guided by educators committed to high-impact, student-centered experiences. 

“There are incredible education abroad opportunities that continue to take shape in Morocco,” said Amelia Dietrich Ph.D., Senior Director for Research & Publications at The Forum on Education Abroad. “Our colleagues here are eager and ready to welcome more students interested in high-impact, experiential learning.” 

Dr. Dietrich added, “A theme that surfaced again and again was the shared desire to help students become not just globally aware, but deeply empathetic citizens. And what’s more, many educators shared how students have reshaped their own perspectives. It’s a mutual process of growth.” 

Moving from Conversation to Collaboration 

Participants left the day inspired to reimagine education abroad as something more than mobility—they are facilitating experiences rooted in empathy, equity, and co-creation. The Forum looks forward to returning to Morocco and continuing this vital work.  

“This is our first event in Morocco, but it won’t be the last,” said Dr. Dietrich, “We’re grateful for the warmth, insight, and leadership of our Moroccan partners. This seminar sparked important conversations—and opened doors to new collaborations across the region and beyond.” 

The Forum extends sincere thanks to Professor Dr. Mohammed Rhachi, President of Mohammed V University in Rabat, for generously hosting the seminar and welcoming more than 70 attendees to campus. His support—including providing the meeting space and offering coffee and traditional pastries during the morning break—helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for meaningful exchange. In addition, The Forum is grateful for the seminar’s sponsors: , , , , , and . Their generous support helped make this meaningful gathering possible.

Construire des passerelles, pas seulement des programmes : Réinventer l’éducation à l’étranger au Maroc 

Le 17 mai 2025, le Forum on Education Abroad a tenu son tout premier séminaire régional au Maroc et sur le continent Africain. Intitulé « L’éducation à l’étranger, passerelle vers l’avenir : Innovations en matière de partenariat et de pédagogie », ce séminaire était coorganisé par le Forum et l’Institut marocain des hautes études de l’Université Mohammed V de Rabat. Réunissant des professionnels de l’éducation à l’étranger, des professeurs d’université, des prestataires de programmes et des représentants gouvernementaux, cet événement d’une journée se composa de tables rondes dynamiques et d’ateliers collaboratifs axés sur les pédagogies expérientielles, les atouts régionaux et l’avenir du partenariat mondial au, et avec le Maroc. 

Le Maroc est bien plus qu'une destination 

Connu depuis longtemps pour la richesse de ses programmes linguistiques, culturels et patrimoniaux, le Maroc est aujourd'hui reconnu comme un leader régional en matière de développement durable et d'innovation. Classé troisième destination la plus prisée en Afrique par les étudiants américains et deuxième dans la région du Moyen Orient et Afrique du Nord (selon le rapport Open Doors, 2024), le Maroc est à l'avant-garde de la redéfinition de la manière dont l'éducation à l'étranger peut s'implanter et prospérer dans les pays du Sud. 

« Le Maroc est bien plus qu'une destination », a déclaré Yamina El Kirat El Allame, Ph. D., ancienne directrice de l'Institut marocain des hautes études de l'Université Mohammed V de Rabat. « Nous devons oser repenser les frontières, non pas comme des barrières, mais comme des passerelles pour l'apprentissage et la compréhension. » 

Dr El Kirat a ajouté : « Nous devons construire de meilleurs cadres, des partenariats plus solides et une vision plus courageuse de ce que peut être l’éducation à l’étranger. Un véritable partenariat implique de construire des laboratoires de citoyenneté globale et de développement durable - non seulement des programmes, mais aussi des objectifs. » 

Des partenariats transactionnels aux partenariats transformateurs 

Tout au long de la journée, intervenants et participants ont souligné la nécessité de dépasser les modèles transactionnels d'échanges internationaux. Ils ont appelé à des partenariats plus intentionnels, inclusifs et transformateurs, fondés sur des défis mondiaux partagés et un apprentissage mutuel. 

Les séances de la journée ont reflété cet esprit d'innovation et d'inclusion. Lors d'une présentation captivante, les participants ont pu entendre directement les étudiants et les administrateurs partager leurs expériences et stratégies concrètes pour concevoir des programmes répondant à l'ensemble des besoins des étudiants. 

D'autres tables rondes ont exploré des pratiques pédagogiques à fort impact, fondées sur des données vérifiées, avec des perspectives pédagogiques comparatives d'enseignants au Maroc et à l'étranger. Les enseignants et les responsables de programmes ont présenté des exemples de la manière dont leurs philosophies et leurs stratégies pédagogiques peuvent éclairer les futurs programmes d'enseignement à l'étranger au Maroc, suscitant des discussions approfondies sur la cocréation, l'inclusion et la pertinence des programmes. 

« A l'avenir, nous devons créer de nouveaux modèles, développer une compréhension mutuelle, pratiquer une pédagogie inclusive et assumer une responsabilité mondiale », a déclaré Oussama El Addouli, Ph. D., directeur du centre IES Abroad Maroc. 

Un objectif collectif de croissance 

« Le Forum a réuni diverses institutions marocaines et prestataires de programmes d'éducation à l'étranger pour ce séminaire régional », a ajouté Dr El Addouli. « Il témoigne avec force de notre engagement commun à développer l'éducation à l'étranger de manière réfléchie et inclusive. Nous sommes énergisés par les échanges suscités lors de cet événement et nous sommes impatients de poursuivre sur cette lancée pour créer un impact durable, tant pour le Maroc que pour les étudiants qui choisissent d'y étudier. » 

La dynamique et les réflexions partagées tout au long de la journée ont reflété une volonté collective de repenser l'éducation à l'étranger au Maroc en mettant l'accent sur l'apprentissage mutuel, les échanges culturels et les pratiques inclusives. Au fil du séminaire, il est apparu clairement que l'éducation à l'étranger au Maroc ne se contente pas de se développer ; elle évolue avec détermination, guidée par des enseignants engagés dans des expériences à fort impact centrées sur les étudiants. 

« Des opportunités incroyables d'éducation à l'étranger continuent de se développer au Maroc », a déclaré Amelia Dietrich, Ph. D., directrice principale de la recherche et des publications au Forum on Education Abroad. « Nos collègues sont impatients et prêts à accueillir davantage d'étudiants intéressés par un apprentissage expérientiel à fort impact. » 

Dr Dietrich a ajouté : « Un des thèmes récurrents est le désir commun d'aider les étudiants à devenir non seulement des citoyens ouverts sur le monde, mais aussi des citoyens profondément empathiques. De plus, de nombreux enseignants ont partagé la manière dont les étudiants ont remodelé leurs propres perspectives. C'est un processus de croissance mutuelle. » 

De la conversation à la collaboration 

Les participants ont fini la journée avec l'inspiration de repenser l'éducation à l'étranger au-delà de la simple mobilité : ils animent des expériences fondées sur l'empathie, l'équité et la cocréation. Le Forum se réjouit de retourner au Maroc et de poursuivre ce travail essentiel. 

« C'est notre premier événement au Maroc, mais ce ne sera pas le dernier », a déclaré Dr Dietrich. « Nous sommes reconnaissants pour la générosité, la perspicacité et le leadership de nos partenaires marocains. Ce séminaire a suscité d'importantes discussions et ouvert la voie à de nouvelles collaborations dans la région et au-delà. » 

Le Forum remercie sincèrement le Professeur Mohammed Rhachi, Président de l'Université Mohammed V de Rabat, pour son généreux accueil de plus de 70 participants sur le campus. Son soutien, notamment en mettant à disposition un espace de réunion et en offrant du café et des pâtisseries traditionnelles pendant la pause matinale, a contribué à créer une atmosphère chaleureuse et accueillante propice à des échanges enrichissants. De plus, Le Forum est reconnaissant du soutien des sponsors du séminaire : l'Université Al Akhawayn d'Ifrane, l'Institut de langue arabe de Fès, English Highway, IAU Study Abroad, IES Abroad Morocco et Sun-Day Tours. Leurs contributions ont permis la réalisation de cette rencontre enrichissante.
