Guiding Students Through a Cultural Journey
Bio:
Before coming to the Monterey Institute (MIIS), Alisyn attended the University of Oregon, Robert D. Clark Honors College, and earned her B.A. in International Studies and Spanish in 2009. When she came to MIIS, she already knew she wanted to continue working in international education, but needed more tools, networking, and experience in order to advance in the field. A project for Alisyn’s marketing and recruitment class led her to the position she currently holds as a Marketing Manager.

Changing Lives Through International Education
"The work that I do...without mincing words, changes people lives."
That is the simple yet powerful answer that Justin Maniar (MAIPS '10) gave when asked about the work he does promoting international education.
"I work with so many students who without the support of people in the field of international education would never have the resources, support or encouragement to go abroad and seek out international education experiences," says Maniar.
