Small Fish in a Global Pond

How Smaller Institutions can Survive
and Thrive through Internationalization

90-120 min keynote presentation, half-day workshop or full-day retreat

Small Fish in a Global PondA fast-paced, enlightening and entertaining look at the current landscape of higher ed internationalization, and specifically the challenges and opportunities for small and mid-sized colleges and universities.  Global markets are teeming with millions of potential students — a refreshing contrast to many domestic markets, where the pool of applicants is drying up.  But when institutions leave their local watershed and venture into international waters, they will face powerful, unpredictable storms, and thousands of hungry competitors in the most popular feeding grounds. The best course of action for smaller players is often to swim against the current, to identify a unique niche not already dominated by bigger competitors, and to position themselves in a way that stands out and attracts attention.
