Realizing Our Impact | Aligning International Education with Higher Education’s Priorities by AMANDADEBLAS@GMAIL.COM | Jul 28, 2025 | Collaboration & Initiatives at Home, Global Engagement Resources Realizing Our Impact: Aligning International Education with Higher Education’s Priorities From Live Session on July 24, 2025 Session Description: As institutions face growing pressure to demonstrate their impact—from student success and career readiness to community engagement and return on investment—international education must evolve to remain a critical part of the higher education ecosystem. But how can global learning be more than a standalone experience? How can it be integrated into the core strategy of higher education? In this recorded webinar, we explore how the 4A Framework for High-Impact Global Education can help institutions align global learning with broader priorities—such as academic achievement, career readiness, and inclusive campus engagement. Whether you’re leading international programs, overseeing student success efforts, or working across inclusive excellence, this session will offer insight into how global education can deliver tangible value across your institution.
