Diversity Abroad Conference
Event Navigation
Since 2013 the annual Diversity Abroad Conference — along with the Global Student Leadership Summit & the MSI Global Education Summit — has constituted the most comprehensive national forum on issues of access, diversity, equity, and inclusion in global education. In April 2018 over 500 education professionals, student leaders, employers, and leading graduate programs will meet in Miami, FL to chart a path forward to reach a shared vision — to ensure equitable access to global educational opportunities. The goal: that the next generation of young people from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience to be academically, personally, and professionally successful in the 21st century interconnected world.
