IIE’s Mexico Higher Education Initiative and Mexico Partnership Program
With its rich cultural heritage, growing economy, and competitive higher education system, Mexico has become a destination for international academic exchange and collaboration. IIE’s Mexico Higher Education Initiative will shine a spotlight on the wealth of opportunities for academic collaboration that exist between Mexico and the international education community. A vital component of the Initiative is the launch of an International Academic Partnership Program focusing on Mexico that is set to begin in June 2016. The IAPP is an 8 month program that includes a study tour to Mexico to visit key higher education institutions, expert advice on developing a strategic plan for partnerships, training webinars, informational resources, and mentoring from experts in Mexico educational partnerships. For the first time, the program is open to all accredited U.S. and international colleges and universities. Application instructions as well as a link to the online application can be found on the IAPP website. Any questions regarding the program may be sent to iapp@iie.org.
