Public-private partnerships are becoming critical for US higher education. I moderated a panel discussion of leaders from universities and pathway providers to identify some of the best practices for building successful public-private partnership for international enrollment growth and diversification. Given below is the panel of university and its pathway partner:
- Ed Feser, Provost & Executive Vice President, Oregon State University
- John Sykes, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President North America, INTO University Partnerships
- Gayle Nunley, Director Global Educational Initiatives, University of Vermont
- Emily Williams-Knight, Managing Director, Study Group
- J. Tyler Hart, Chief Development Officer, Richard Bland College (RBC) of William & Mary
- James Applegate, Senior Academic Advisor, Navitas North America
- Jim Burkee, Executive Vice President, Concordia College New York
- Jose Flores, Managing Director, Kings Education
This panel discussion took place at P3EDU, an invitation-only event hosted by George Mason University to bring together a select group of leaders to network and share best practices around public-private partnerships in higher education including international recruitment.
It relates to the NAFSA commissioned research report I led on the landscape third-party pathway partnerships and the reasons reported by international education professionals for considering to partner or not. In this report, I mapped 45 higher education institutions with eight third-party providers and conducted a survey of international education professionals to discover their perceptions on the reasons for partnering or not with third-party providers.
Honor to moderate this panel discussion on public private partnerships for #internationalstudent recruitment and pathways.
