11:50 - How are organizations replicating the meaningful experiences that are normally available through international exchange programs? What are some of the creative solutions that helped continue the mission of international education and what initiatives were launched during the pandemic?

24:10 - What are some of the opportunities created by the pandemic? Are we seeing an expanded scope of collaboration thanks to technological innovations and new communication platforms? What are some new and unexpected partnerships?

37:10 - What long term effects will the pandemic have on the realm of international education? Will there be a permanent paradigm shift in the form of hybrid education models, and did the new teaching models create an environment of greater equity and inclusiveness?
