By Ryan Young May 18, 2021 | 1:30 PM Parkland College, Cumberland College, and Great Plains College are teaming up on a new initiative aimed at simplifying the process of recruiting international students. Beginning in October, the two-year pilot project will see one individual looking after all international recruiting for the three colleges. The agreement will help the colleges put their collective expertise to work, while streamlining costs, and becoming less dependent upon outside agencies, when it comes to recruiting international students. In a release, Parkland President and CEO Mark Hoddenbaugh says the agreement lays the foundation for further partnerships in the future, while benefitting local economies.
