From June 25-27, more than 200 education abroad professionals convened in Chicago for The Forum on Education Abroad’s sold out Institute on Health, Safety, Security, and Risk Management 2025. As education abroad evolves amid increasing uncertainty, this Institute continues to provide critical tools, peer learning, and cross-sector insights to help institutions safeguard the well-being of students, faculty, and staff abroad. 

For the past two decades, The Forum on Education Abroad and Dickinson College have shared a collaborative partnership dedicated to advancing the field of international education. What began as a bold vision in 2004 has grown into a lasting alliance that has influenced best practices, policies, and programs benefiting institutions, faculty, and students worldwide. 

To round out an inspiring Annual Conference 2025, The Forum on Education Abroad celebrated several awards during the Closing Celebration Luncheon in Toronto on Friday, March 21. The luncheon presentation included announcing the winner of the Peter A. Wollitzer Advocacy Award, recognizing recipients of the Ron Koehn Conference Grant Award and Loren Ringer Award for On-Site International Educators, and, for the first time, the InnovateEA pitch competition. 

During the virtual portion of The Forum on Education Abroad’s Annual Conference 2025, which was held from February 26-27, one theme stood out: a strong sense of community is essential for navigating today’s challenges in education abroad.
