The conference, themed “Global Pathways,” will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will take place in the LSC-North Harris Conference Center located in the college’s Student Services Building.
The annual conference is open to all students – high school and college – along with faculty, administrators and community leaders in the Texas Gulf Coast region. It will focus on international studies, global environmental concerns, international education, study abroad programs and international students. Exhibitors will include international groups, educational travel providers, and more.
“Lone Star College recognizes the increasingly global environment in which we live, and this conference is one of the many ways we prepare students to succeed when they enter today’s diverse and interconnected workforce,” said LSCS Chancellor Dr. Richard Carpenter.
Approximately 250 guests are expected to attend this year’s conference, which is being held at LSC-North Harris for the first time.
“Lone Star College students represent more than 90 different countries around the world,” said Nithy Sevanthinathan, director of international programs and services for LSCS. “The International Education Conference allows us to introduce our students to renowned speakers who can expand on the globalization they are already seeing in their classrooms.”
The early registration fee for the day-long conference is $25 for students and $40 for all others. Registration costs increase an additional $5 after April 5. The first 100 LSCS students who register online at LoneStar.edu/IEC may attend for free.
