Students seek out many different sources of information during their international education search. While it is crucial that your institution provides accurate and helpful information, the most trustworthy source will always be a real student who has gone through the process themselves. Our latest article, "Connecting Prospective Students with Experienced Students: Why Peer-to-Peer Engagement is Valuable and Effective," explores the benefits of peer-to-peer communication for both students and institutions alike.

What are the best swag items to bring on a recruitment trip? We asked experienced recruiters and counselors this question in our latest report, "The Road Warrior's Guide to Recruitment Travel," and the #1 tip from recruiters and counselors alike is to choose an item that provides utility to students – something purely decorative is less likely to be used and appreciated. Smaller items such as pens, notepads, sticky notes, mints, and lip balm are popular and are inexpensive to ship.
