#USCULCON celebrates International Education Week and the resilient U.S. and Japanese students pursuing study abroad in each other’s countries. Thank you #IIEglobal for the Open Doors data that informs the important work of dedicated higher education partners, exchange organizations and government leaders. A strong U.S.-Japan partnership requires next generation leaders with the cultural competencies acquired through study abroad. We must work together to create opportunities and remove barriers including access and travel.
