Student Spotlight
Meet John Mulligan, a Game Design major and junior at DePaul University, who had the honor being CEA’s first virtual intern “in” Amsterdam.
He was placed with a Dutch company that creates Escape Room-type team-building games, and they even host the Dutch National Escape Game Championship. As an intern, John gained insights into Dutch work culture, honed his new business development skills, and even helped with quality assurance for the company.

CEA CAPA in Action
This October we would have been busy preparing to meet colleagues and partners at the European Forum Conference. This would have been an opportunity to catch up with old colleagues, make new connections, and discuss new program partnerships.
Since we can’t meet in person, we’ll settle for the next best thing—a virtual introduction to some of our amazing CEA Study Center and Academic Directors, who together have over 50 years of experience in international education. You will have a chance to meet them in person during our CEA Virtual Open House on November 18th & 19th.

Between 2 Questions
This month, we’re curious to know your thoughts on study abroad options for STEM students.
Last month we asked your thoughts about requiring students to learn their host language while studying/interning abroad.
Here are the results:
Two-thirds of respondents said “Absolutely!” while the other third of respondents felt that it should be the student’s choice.
