The Asia Institute was proud to participate in the 18th Annual Forum on Education Abroad conference from March 21-25, the first opportunity in over two years for Education Abroad practitioners to gather for industry education and networking. We were glad to meet with so many friends and colleagues to discuss upcoming short-term programs in Asia. We look forward to seeing everyone again at NAFSA in May!
