Live Chat: Innovators in Internationalization: the University of Tulsa

Cheryl Matherly and Martin Tillman

Europe is still the top site for U.S. students, but career concerns could change that.

Innovators in Internationalization

Wednesday October 27, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time

Despite the rhetoric about needing workers with an international outlook, employers tend to rank study abroad low on their wish list of co-curricular experiences. Why is that? Probably because they still associate it with trips to the French countryside and drinking in Irish pubs. Job applicants don’t often help their case, as many are unable to articulate how six months abroad helped them become more resourceful, independent, and culturally aware. Learn how several colleges have begun fixing that problem by cross-training their study-abroad and career-services staff members to encourage them to team up and help students explain their international experiences in ways that resonate with employers.
