SUMMARY:Academic Speed Dating (AMPEI event)
DESCRIPTION:North America Program for the Internationalization of the Curricula \n\nThe program seeks to create multicultural educational environments where faculty from three institutions work together to develop interdisciplinary modules that emphasize collaborative online learning\, allowing students to have intercultural experiences that are hosted at their home institutions.

SUMMARY:A Briefing on Third Party Servicers Guidance and Education Abroad (The Forum on Education Abroad event)
DESCRIPTION:Last month\, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid issued a Dear Colleague Letter that greatly expanded the definition of third-party servicers (TPS) to include “entities performing the function of student recruiting and retention\, the provision of software products and services involving Title IV administration activities\, and the provision of educational content and instruction.” If implemented as written\, the guidance could eliminate federal funds from being sent to any foreign-owned entity as it prohibits colleges and universities from contracting with third-party servicers located outside of the United States or entities “owned or operated by an individual who is not a U.S. Citizen or national or a lawful U.S. permanent resident. This could have drastic impact on the field of study abroad. \nThe Forum strongly urges Members to work with their own Legal Counsel and Federal Relations colleagues in advance of the March 28\, 2023 deadline for submitting comments to the U.S. Department of Education and to join us for a webinar on Friday\, March 17th from 11am -12pm ET to learn about the guidance and how it may impact study abroad. Panelists will include Lou Guard\, General Counsel at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and Aaron Lacey\, Chair of Thompson Coburn’s Higher Education Practice. \nDownload presentation: 2023-3-17 Forum TPS Webinar \n

SUMMARY:Higher Ed as Refuge for High-Risk Individuals
DESCRIPTION:Higher Ed in the US quickly made space to find placements for high-risk individuals fleeing their country. Universities around the country moved fast to create a soft landing and strong start for evacuees and subsequently found a direct path to diversify and globalize student and faculty bodies and their experiences. This was a crucial step to bring global voices to the campuses and do good in the world as well as foster professional development.
