Eight months after the official launch of Generation Study Abroad, the Institute of International Education (IIE) has announced that 142 new partners have joined as part of a third round of commitments, bringing the total to 450 partners. Many of the new partners are international universities and organizations and government entities that have committed to increase the number of U.S. students going to their countries to study. In addition, several major U.S. higher education organizations have pledged specific, actionable goals and tangible financial commitments that will contribute significantly to IIE’s ambitious goal of doubling the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade.

The international community has begun to have a clear presence in the Generation Study Abroad initiative and their participation will further the impact of Generation Study Abroad: join the campaign.
