Learn about an online tool to assist international educators in tracking and analyzing return on investment (ROI) metrics. The ROI model looks at the investments of staff time and budget for student recruitment, and the corresponding returns. It also aims to factor in more subjective, qualitative variables that play an important role in shaping returns on marketing and recruitment activities. Learn about how you can strengthen your decision making around recruitment strategies and budgets.
Cheryl Darrup Boychuck of INTCAS and George Kacenga of University of Colorado will present the model and share their experience.

The Study Texas Board is excited to announce the next Study Texas Mission Trip to Bogota, Colombia. We had previously discussed visiting Vietnam this fall, and due to changes with the Study Texas Board, we were unable to plan the trip for this fall. The Study Texas Mission Trip to Vietnam has been pushed to the spring, tentatively scheduled for February 2017.
As we have visited Colombia previously, we were able to plan a mission trip for this fall. EducationUSA Colombia is coordinating the mission for Study Texas, with the help of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
We'll be visiting high schools in Bogota, Colombia in addition to an EducationUSA Study Texas Pavilion and Recruitment Fair. Within the next week, we will have more updates regarding the schedule.
Study Texas Member Cost for the mission trip: $1,200

Study Texas had a successful mission to Brazil in September 2015 with 8 institutions in Texas. We had the chance to meet over 5 high schools during our visit and excited to start planning our next mission to Mexico! More news is to come, stay tuned.
This upcoming Fall, 8 universities will be visiting two 2nd-tier Brazilian cities, Recife and Fortaleza on September 17-22nd. Brazil is the tenth leading place of origin for students coming to the United States. According to IIE’s Open Doors Report, more than 13,286 Brazilian students studied in the United States in 2013/14. These numbers are expected to increase, and Texas is best positioned to take part in this growth due to its location, cultural and linguistic links, and great diversity of quality educational programs.
This November, Study Texas will take a statewide education mission to Mexico. Chair-Elect Dickie Hargrove will lead the mission with support from the U.S. Department of Commerce and EducationUSA. The mission will visit Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey to meet with local students and school advisors. Join the mission to showcase your school, make contact with prospective students and high school counselors, and make connections with other international education professionals.
BOSSA event - Study Texas took part for first time
Study Texas hosted the 2nd NAFSA Annual Conference Study Texas Breakfast for EducationUSA advisors, State Department officials, and Study Texas members on May 28, 2014, at Richard Walker’s Pancake House during the 2014 NAFSA Annual Conference & Expo, held in San Diego, California. This event provided the 38 EducationUSA advisors, USDOC education specialists, and REACS who attended the conference an opportunity to meet 22 members of Study Texas. Study Texas Chair, Anis Qourzal, gave a brief presentation to guests about Study Texas and why Texas is an ideal destination for international students who wish to study in the US. Members of Study Texas had the opportunity to meet and mingle with attendees to share information about Study Texas, the State of Texas, and their respective institutions.
