At GlobalCampus, I spend a lot of time talking with universities and colleges, in the US and abroad. One of my favorite parts of my job is hearing about the variety of programs, lifestyles, and options offered by colleges around the world. The array of options offered to international students globally is exciting and impressive! Though my days of being an international student are over, I love picturing the international student life and programs at universities that I learn about daily.

At GlobalCampus we connect international students with university staff worldwide. With the rise of social media tools that enable global communication, we’re keen on knowing how students and staff are talking to each other. So while we’re helping university staff scout future international students on GlobalCampus, we’re also tracking trends and information on new communication tools for international education professionals and how they interact.
