UHCSEAS (Center for Southeast Asian Studies) presents our first Fall 2024 Careers in Asia-Pacific Affairs Speaker Series event

International schools and university campuses, separate from religious-based boarding schools, expanded globally post-WWII to provide education for diplomats’ children. In the last 30 years, American and European universities established overseas campuses to extend their reach at a time when visas have become increasingly difficult and education more costly. Join UH Mānoa Alumni as they discuss their international education careers. Learn how your area studies and language skills are an asset for a global education career.

Co-sponsored by CSEAS & Asian Studies as part of the CAPA Series.
