The best story is when I feel the impact of this international experience on any student. A student last year got really excited about learning some Arabic words from me, Nadine, and other Egyptian students during the program. What makes the story more exciting is that he told me after going back to the US after the program that he is taking online courses and teaching himself how to speak and write Arabic!

I would choose to go to any new city we visit. I really like experiencing new places and knowing more about different cultures. Luckily through Forum-Nexus, I get to do that every year because we always visit new countries and cities. In 2018, I visited Amsterdam for the first time, and I absolutely loved it!

What makes Forum-Nexus unique is the truly international, multi-country, life-changing experience that we offer. Visiting many countries with such a diversity of students and staff members provides the most international exposure to any student. The professional visits included in the program provide a unique, closer look at major international corporations, which helps in developing the students’ careers and puts them steps ahead in their work life.

I am really proud to be a member of this team, especially after working with my colleagues last summer. We facilitated a large group of students traveling to more than 9 cities in 5 weeks while providing them with the highest standards of care. Of course, it is really important to mention the huge positive energy provided by our Program Director, Dr. Hugo. He is an incredible person and extremely well-informed of all international aspects. I can definitely say that his energy and charisma are a major factor behind the success of the Forum-Nexus programs.

I believe the biggest factor in being a successful company is having a family spirit. We all work together as one family with each staff member putting his or her all in providing a life-changing experience to our students. Students feel such a spirit, and feel, although being away from home, that they are experiencing new cultures and landscapes, while traveling with such a warm group of friends that it feels like family!
