The Study Illinois international education consortium will host its fifth annual conference on attracting international students to Illinois. Over 25,000 international students currently study in Illinois, contributing more than $600 million annually to the state's economy. Our featured speakers will be six U.S. State Department-affiliated overseas education advisers from Brazil, Egypt, India, Jamaica, Pakistan, and Thailand. They will speak on the latest higher education trends in their home countries and what students there are looking for in a study abroad experience. After the presentations, each adviser will man a country information booth, and attendees will have the opportunity to visit with the advisers individually. The conference is supported by the U.S. Commercial Service - Chicago Office, the International Trade Association of Greater Chicago, and the Illinois Office of Trade and Investment. 1:00-5:00 p.m. at Loyola University Watertower Campus, Kasbeer Hall, 25 E Pearson,15th floor, Chicago.
$10 for Study IL members; $20 for non-members.
