Happy LGBTQ Pride month! The field of study abroad is one of diversity and inclusion, so it is no stranger to LGBTQ students, staff, faculty, and administrators.

In Southeast Asia (referred to here as ASEAN), quality higher education is seen as a commodity of the elite — a vehicle designed to prepare privileged and middle-class students for successful professional careers. While the region has seen an increase in overall education access during the last 30 years, the higher ed institutions considered to be “top tier” remain concentrated in only a few Southeast Asian cities, making them increasingly difficult to access by the majority of the population.

International internships can provide you with the exciting opportunity to live abroad and give your resume a major boost. But many internships, whether at home or abroad, aren’t paid. We get it – it doesn’t sound ideal to work for free. So why would anyone pay for an unpaid internship? Everyone’s situation is different.

Marvin Krislov, the president of Pace University, is one of the very few presidents who still teaches classes – and he is one of the teachers of this 101-level course.

Before that, Kaplan Higher Education and Kaplan Higher Education gained attention for selling off their for-profit schools but maintaining the management
