November 1-5, 2021International Education & Exchange: Catalyst for Inclusion, Access, and Progress
The 2021 CIEE International Education & Exchange Summit was held online the week of November 1-5, 2021.
After the successful cross-pollination of ideas that came out of 2020’s inaugural CIEE International Education & Exchange Summit, we again used this opportunity to bring together colleagues from around the world who worked not just in study abroad, but in cultural exchange programs of all kinds. We discussed topics among a diverse group of attendees, including students, universities and colleges, employers, providers, agents, governments, NGO’s, and more.
