Congratulations to Ayush Rai for “Jumping Borders”
Each year toward the end of November we are thrilled to celebrate International Education Week by naming our Travel Video Contest winners. This year, like years in the past, we had an over-abundance of talented and driven students all with the goal of studying and traveling outside their home country. Although we were not able to grant each of the 13 finalists a prize to take home, we want to extend a big congratulations to each for the achievements they’ve already seen, and those we know will continue to come.
Although a difficult task, our judges have conveyed their top picks and we’re pleased to announce the winners:
