Your Take on the Forum Conference

Many colleagues lauded the 2007 Forum conference, held in Austin, Texas last week, as being one of the most valuable in education abroad.

"This was one of the best experiences I have had in the field," said Lorna Stern, of Arcadia University.

Bruce La Brack of the University of the Pacific stated, "I learned a lot at this conference, and it goes to show you that you are never too old to learn new things."

Lawrie Davidson from the University of Western Australia summed up the feelings of many of the attendees by stating: "I thought the Forum in Austin was one of the best study abroad conferences I have attended - for the sessions and networking opportunities. The workshop format encourages audience participation and helps to identify colleagues who have something to offer and who become the focus of further discussion in the coffee breaks and at functions."
