## Resource

In this episode, Dustin speaks with Brock Price of Terra Dotta about the evolving landscape of global education and the growing complexity behind study abroad and international student programs. They explore how institutions can better support these experiences through smarter systems, improved data visibility, and more coordinated, campus-wide strategies. The conversation highlights why global engagement remains a critical part of higher education—driving student growth, institutional value, and cross-cultural understanding—while emphasizing the need to reduce administrative burden so staff can focus on the human impact of the work.
