Expanding the Bounds of International Exchange
One aspect of identity is educational background and access. In this conversation, we talk with Jessica and Jordan, two CLS alums who work with Global Community College Transfers (GCCT) to increase more inclusion in the world of international exchange. Global Community College Transfers' (GCCT) mission is to close the knowledge barriers to global education opportunities for community college students and those at underserved public institutions while building a platform to connect current community college and transfer students with recruiters, stakeholders, and participants within the foreign affairs landscape. You can learn more about the organization and explore their upcoming programming by visiting https://www.globalcctransfers.org/. Jordan is a community college transfer student from Berkeley City College in California and a current student at Columbia University. He studied Arabic in Egypt in 2017, and then again in Morocco as a CLS 2018 cohort member. Jessica studied the Russian language in the 2018 CLS program in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. She has lived abroad in 5 countries and is starting her career in U.S. government service.
