April 2023 Updates!
Happy Spring ISEP community! We enjoyed having the chance to meet several of you at recent events, and plan to continue in-person engagement activities as weather and local conditions permit. You will find some highlights below, as well as things to come. Remember, we are always interested in hearing about what’s going with you, and are happy to arrange a call to catch up, help plan a local event, or help with career or academic advising. Just reply to this message to get started.
In-person events are in full swing!
Thank you to our alumni who came out to meet us in San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. in March! We loved listening to your study abroad stories and learning what you are currently up to. Please keep in touch.
More events are currently being planned, so stay tuned for invitations to those if you are in the area where the event will take place. We are also looking for alumni worldwide to help plan more local events. If you are interested in meeting others who are passionate about the world around them and can serve as a local point of contact, reach out to learn more.

Recent Professional Development Webinars
In February, ISEP hosted a panel discussion on careers in international education featuring alumni currently working in the field. The event generated lots of lively discussion both among the panelists and from the alumni who attended the session.
In March, ISEP board member and global engagement specialist, Dr. Gretchen Dobson, hosted a session on best practices for networking locally and globally after your study abroad experiences. She has graciously agreed to share the slides from the event, which may be found here: Networking Slides
