Last week, Director Sasha Perugini travelled with Academic Manager Rachael Smith and Assistant Director for Student Life Jessica Volpe to Strasbourg for the 2023 European Institute Conference. They also met and shared ideas with Syracuse Abroad colleagues from London and Madrid while visiting the Syracuse center in Strasbourg.
The conference was co-organized by the Forum of Education Abroad and the European Association of Study Abroad and took place in the National University Library. It was a great chance for the 120 participants from across Europe to share best practices, especially concerning current issues like DEI, mental health, and the climate crisis in relation to study abroad. Director Sasha Perugini also spoke about artificial intelligence and international education as part of the panel “Open Forum Dialogue: Giving Voice to Onsite Perspectives.”
