In the NAFSA Pavilion on Tuesday, Kelly Holland, GE Associate Director for Institutional Partnerships, sat on the Social Media panel presented by NAFSA.
They shared best practices for managing international internship programs from a university and partner perspective. Melissa Buerkett, GE Director of Academic Internships, presented a sought-after conference session alongside Jennifer Evanuik Baird from Georgia Institute of Technology speaking to a room of 75+ attendees. Always great to network and meet with our university partners and industry colleagues, and discuss how international internships form a critical aspect of an intercultural experience. Members of the Global Experiences team had the pleasure of exhibiting at NAFSA. This year's NAFSA theme was "Diverse Voices, Shared Commitment." Keeping in line with this, plenary speakers Laura Bush, Bill Nye, Joyce Banda, and Terry Gross gave enlightening speeches on the importance of education and being an active part of a global community. NAFSA brings like-minded professionals from around the world to discuss all of the exciting things happening in the field of international education. Over 9,000 attendees from over 100 countries gathered in the city of Philadelphia for the largest international education event in the world - the NAFSA International Educators conference - and Global Experiences was there to be a part of it!
