In these fast-changing times when we all have a mandate to do more with less and our global social and economic climate is in a state constant flux and unpredictability, how do we make our programs, operations, and missions sustainable so we can continue to promote education abroad as a means to foster global citizenship and cross-cultural engagement?

This spring, join us to explore innovative frameworks for creating sustainability in education abroad. The concept of sustainability will be examined within a broad and holistic context encompassing academic, programmatic, socio-economic, organizational and individual dimensions.

Major conference themes to be explored include sustaining education abroad in a changing global environment; creating fiscal sustainability for education abroad; incorporating environmental and social sustainability into education abroad programming; and maintaining institutional, personal and professional sustainability.

Join us for a truly unique CCIS retreat-style conference which will allow attendees to enjoy informal fireside chats, one-on-one networking and stimulating conversations about relevant topics in the field of international education. Other exciting conference activities include the opportunity to meet individually with international host institutions to learn about various CCIS education abroad programs, organized activities such as morning yoga sessions, and personal and professional growth workshops.
