Bringing ISEP Closer to You
Connecting with Our Community
Throughout 2023, ISEP prioritized connecting with our members and affiliates to strengthen our relationships and community. We brought our team closer to the institutions we serve, welcomed team members based in their regions, increased our institutional visits, and hosted community events in the United States, Europe, and Asia. We offered virtual opportunities to connect for students, alumni, coordinators, and faculty, and hosted in-person community gatherings in Bangkok, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Rotterdam.
In 2024, we look forward to fostering deeper relationships through in-person and virtual engagement, and we plan to increase our regionally based team members to better support students and institutions.
