OUR

HISTORY

IEI began in 2004 and was formalized in 2006 as a Minnesota-based non-profit organization.  We started with the University of Wisconsin system schools, then expanded to Minnesota state schools and other private Midwest universities.

OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

Our team believes in the value of international exchange and is culturally intelligent.  All staff have extensive international exposure and first hand experience studying internationally.
