In April, Coast Mountain College attended the World Congress 2023. The World Congress is the largest event of its kind and brings together postsecondary leaders from around the world to discuss, share, and expand our collective intelligence. The World Congress 2023 was hosted by Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics (WFCP) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with the theme Collective Intelligence.
Our Manager of Student Recruitment, Hyeyoung presented 'Building Partnerships for Diversifying the International Student Body and Improving Employability'. The discussion explored the importance of diversity in the international population and how academic institutions can collaborate with global student service providers.
“The CICan pre-conference forum that engages discussion around the unique opportunities and challenges within rural, remote and Northern institutions is one of my favourite conferences. It was my great pleasure to share the benefits of practicing empathy in international recruitment, in particular, for student diversity, and how to build successful partnerships to move forward with this empathy to provide prospective students with real solutions to real challenges of coming to a rural, remote and Northern institution.”, she said.
