A message from Livia Castellanos, Executive Director of the International Office at University of Regina regarding the Western Regional Meeting:
“At a time when recruiting and retaining international students can be pivotal to the sustainability of our universities, what strategies can help smaller and mid-sized colleges and universities be more effective in the global arena? This conference will explore the world of possibilities that exist for smaller and mid-sized institutions to develop and build on programs to recruit and retain international students, build academic partnerships around the globe, and enhance the sustainability of post-secondary education for all students.”
