Last week marked an energizing milestone for GoElite as our team sponsored and participated in two of the industry’s leading international education gatherings: AIRC Annual Conference. Both events brought together global institutions, recruitment professionals, and innovators shaping the future of international student mobility, and we were proud to be right at the center of the conversation.
Throughout the week, the GoElite team met with partner universities and recruitment collaborators from every region. Reconnecting in person reminds us how essential shared mission and open dialogue are to the work we do.
Your insights continue to fuel our commitment to delivering high-quality recruitment technology and supporting student success at every stage of the journey.
A highlight of the week was Christina Chen’s presentation at the AIRC Annual Conference, delivered in collaboration with Patrick Colabucci, Ed.D, Vanessa Andrade, and Nathan Hawkins.
The session explored one of the most pressing topics in international education today: student retention. Together, the panel examined key drivers of persistence, the evolving expectations of international learners, and the opportunities institutions have to build proactive, data-driven support ecosystems.
We walked away with even more insights than we brought into the room, reaffirming how powerful cross-institution collaboration can be — especially during times of rapid change.
The international education landscape continues to evolve, bringing new complexities for institutions, advisors, and students alike. Yet one message resonated across both conferences:
Strong partnership is the foundation that carries us through uncertainty.
At GoElite, we remain committed to building technology and relationships that help our partners navigate challenges with confidence — and to ensuring that students around the world are supported from application to graduation.
Thank you to everyone who met with us, shared your perspectives, and continues to believe in the power of global education. We look forward to deepening our partnerships and collaborating on the next era of student success.
