INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Testimonials From IIENetwork Member Institutions and Articles and Resources
Following the events of September 11, we asked IIENetwork members to reaffirm the importance of international education at their institution. We have received many encouraging responses, all of which have been posted on this site. We would like to thank those of you who have shared this information with the IIENetwork membership, and invite you to read the collection of testimonials, as well as the related articles. If you would like to add a testimonial of your institution, you can post it in the special online discussion board.

Testimonials from IIENetwork Member Campuses
|
John J. Wood, U. of Buffalo, SUNY
"Our international programs have raised the university's profile around the world and contributed to UB's reputation as a world-class institution of higher education. Our institutional visibility overseas enhances our international student recruitment effort and helps create new opportunities for UB to fulfill its various missions in a global setting."
Thomas Koop, Ashland University
"International education has transformed an otherwise provincial campus into a more diverse and interesting place. Bringing international students to campus and sending students and faculty abroad have created a greater understanding of other cultures and peoples, and piqued interest in areas of the world little known to us before. For us, international education has been like a fragrant breeze that makes our senses come alive."
Suzanne Droleskey, Texas A&M University
"Having international students enrolled continues to foster diversity and cross-cultural understanding. Post Sept. 11, it is amazing how much our campus and local communities have looked after international students."
Gretchen Olson, Drake University
"How has international education made a difference at Drake? It opens doors. Enhances careers. Creates fond memories and affection for people and places. It turns "foreigners" into friends (and maybe even lovers)! I could give lots of lofty reasons why international education is so important. But at the root of it all, if I listen to my alumni, is the essential value of people getting to know each other."
