Laura Hills helps you stay in touch over the summer break
Although things may now be quieter on the teaching front, there are still a few events and conferences coming up over the summer.
Recruiting International Graduate Students in a Challenging Environment
Thursday 18 July
2:00 pm ET
The first event on the horizon is an Inside Higher Ed webinar on recruiting international graduate students in a challenging environment. Although its focus is principally on the issues facing American universities amidst the current cooling of the US-China relationship, it could still be relevant to institutions not based in the United States.

The second seminar, on the changing geography of intergenerational social mobility, will be presented by Dr Brian Bell from King’s College on 30th July.
