Are we winning Generation Study Abroad? with Wagaye Johannes of IIE

Today's episode is all about Generation Study Abroad - the students who comprise this generation, the initiative conceived by the folks over at IIE, and defining what quality in study abroad really means. We also try to answer the  big question: Are we winning at creating Generation Study Abroad and doubling the number of students who study abroad each year? 

I'm chatting with Wagaye Johannes, program director of the Generation Study Abroad initiative at IIE. Wagaye's career has evolved over the past 15 years and touched on areas of global program management with a focus on leadership development, social entrepreneurship, cross-cultural exchange, and international affairs.

This is the perfect episode for anyone who's not sure what Generation Study Abroad is or who is curious about what you can do to help double study abroad participation.
