Dr. Gregory D. Hess, President and CEO of IES Abroad, took the position right as Covid started.
With clarity on their values focused on academics, safety, and diversity, and by keeping close tabs on global events, he opens opportunities for students to study abroad for a deep intercultural experience.
The best benefit – the students are exposed to different cultures and experiences that give them power to deal with ambiguities.
In this episode, we also talk about his research and publications on how conflict/war affects economic growth.
He believes that by offering opportunities for students from around the world to develop relationships, IES Abroad encourages cooperation instead of conflict.
With his experience as a federal economist, a college professor, and non-profit executive, he’s fascinating to listen to.
