“I really loved how inclusive the summit was. Not only with the students being from different places, but with the speed networkers have such different backgrounds. They showed students that just because you didn’t grow up the most fortunate doesn’t mean you can’t make the world a better place, or become a better version of yourself for others around you.,” says Cayden –attendee from 2023 International Education Summit.
