The updated website contains resources for students interested in studying abroad in the Americas, higher education institutions who want to increase their footprint in the Western Hemisphere, and private sector companies who want to contribute to the future prosperity of the Americas. 100,000 Strong in the Americas will enable a new generation to reach across borders to address common challenges and seek out new opportunities.
