Cohorts
This summer the International Student Program Intensives will debut a redesigned cohort system to empower educators at every stage of their career. Participants can join one of two tailored cohorts: New to my Role (1-3 years in international education) or Experienced in my Role (3+ years of experience). This new structure ensures that attendees learn across all crucial areas—Marketing & Recruitment, Program Development, and Academic Support for English Learners—in alignment with their level of expertise. Through interactive sessions, participants will build networks, exchange best practices, and receive targeted guidance on strengthening their International Student Programs.
Whether you’re looking to establish foundational knowledge or expand advanced strategies, the 2025 ISP Intensives are crafted to equip you for the next level in international education. Join us to deepen your expertise, connect with like-minded professionals, and make a lasting impact on students’ lives worldwide.
