RESOURCES

International Exchange Program

Does international travel interest you?

Would you like the opportunity to visit with student affairs colleagues and learn how student affairs work is conducted in other countries?

Would exposure to other educational systems be valuable in working with your own international and study/work-abroad students?

If you answer yes to these questions, you join a growing number of student affairs professionals who are seeking opportunities to expand their knowledge of other cultures and to increase their professional contacts with colleagues from other countries. In response to this growing demand, and in recognition of the global nature of education, NASPA has initiated a number of international exchange programs for NASPA members. The first NASPA international exchange occurred in September 1996, when a NASPA delegation from the U.S. visited France, hosted by The Centre National des Oeuvres Universitaires et Scolaires (CNOUS). Discussions continue to occur with various professional associations/countries to explore expanding the portfolio of relationships that exist at present. Following are abbreviated lists of existing international exchagne partners and U.S. host institutions:
