From the Council on International Exchange Newsletter
We are pleased to see the attention that international education continues to receive in the U.S. and international press, as the findings of the Open Doors report and the Fall 2007 enrollment survey get picked up around the world. Several examples are posted below for your information.
Over the past few days, we have seen press coverage in the national and international outlets, including articles in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, and the Times of India, and the special section in this week’s Chronicle of Higher Education that was highlighted in Monday’s IIE.Interactive. In addition to this coverage, Inside Higher Ed carried an online feature that looked at both foreign student numbers and U.S. students studying abroad. And we are seeing localized stories now being reported by regional press, as well as campus publications starting to use Open Doors to showcase their internationalization.
If you have not already done so, we encourage you to work with your media relations article to use the Open Doors findings for your campus or state as a news hook to showcase what you are doing on your campus.
