A Roadmap to (Re) Engaging with Mexico

The University of Texas at Austin is offering a free webinar on Monday, April 23 at 1pm EST/10am PST for U.S. institutions of higher education who are interested in developing or expanding study abroad programming or exchanges in Mexico “A Roadmap to (Re) Engaging with Mexico”.

This free webinar, geared for U.S. higher education professionals, will walk you through establishing the foundation for successful (re) engagement with study abroad and exchange programs in Mexico. After nearly a decade of limited mobility from the U.S. to Mexico, possibilities are opening up. UT Austin has successfully fast-tracked mobility to Mexico in recent years and we would like to share tips for success with other institutions. The webinar will cover: 1) Overview of the Mexico Roadmap Project, 2) Why Mexico?, 3) Evaluating and Mitigating Risks, and 4) Engaging Faculty and Students.
