2018 IMPACT REPORT ISEP is a non-profit educational community dedicated to helping students overcome financial and academic barriers to study abroad. In partnership with 343 member institutions in 56 countries, we provide students with life-changing programs of studying, interning and volunteering abroad. OUR COMMUNITY

I am excited to announce that in 2018 our team significantly increased the value of ISEP membership. In the last year we strategically expanded our membership, developed 48 new programs in collaboration with members, introduced full-time internships through our partnership with Global Experiences and launched the ISEP Alumni Association.

Members told us that through ISEP they achieved their comprehensive internationalization goals. With our breadth of membership in 56 countries across 343 universities, we empowered inclusive mobility and diversified the student population we mobilized to and from our member campuses. Together as a member community we delivered on our promise to expand accessible, affordable and immersive opportunities.

MEMBERSHIP – We welcomed 11 new university members in six countries. Our team visited 200+ member campuses – meeting with leadership, coordinators, prospective students and alumni. Members partnered with us to introduce 48 new programs, including short-term options in Costa Rica, expanding Arabic language learning in Kuwait and Lebanon and adding volunteer programs in Greece.

INTERNSHIPS – Through our partnership with Global Experiences we introduced full-time internship programs in 12 cities across 10 countries with affordable program fees exclusive to ISEP members. Our members also increased opportunities for students to intern while studying abroad.

GLOBAL MOBILITY – Members and students within our global community became more connected with a 23% increase in applications between members outside the U.S., with the highest growth between members in Asia and the Middle East.

ALUMNI – We launched the ISEP Alumni Association with a focus on a lifetime of connection by providing unique experiences for alumni across their careers. Within the first six months, more than 1,000 alumni joined our community.

In celebration of our 40th Anniversary in 2019, we will launch an interactive website for our ISEP Alumni Association to build a global community, creating long-term value for our alumni. Our history of working in partnership with institutions is what defines us as the largest global membership non-profit for student mobility. We’re proud of the immersive experiences we offer together and the value ISEP students bring to member campuses.

Our impact is the difference an ISEP experience has on a student’s life – the cultivation of global skills for employability, openness to difference, self-awareness and the desire to contribute to a more peaceful, just and inclusive world. I look forward to all that we will do together in our 40th Anniversary year, building a future of student mobility that is focused on the Centennial generation and beyond.
