New research from Ellucian's 2026 Student Voice Report found that nearly 75% of students want career pathways and salary outcomes built into their degree planning, but only 4% say their institution actually provides that. That gap is exactly what GHE was built to close. Every student gets an embedded internship, personalized career advising, and a job-search process backed by our alumni network — with a 93%+ placement rate since 2013. Career clarity shouldn't be a mystery. Curious how a master's degree can actually map to your next job? https://ghe.education.wisc.edu/

As we enjoy the final weeks of summer in Madison, we’re beginning to look ahead to a new academic year! 🌅

Whether our students have been taking classes, gaining professional experience, traveling, connecting with their communities, or taking time to recharge, summer offers many ways to learn and grow.

We look forward to welcoming our GHE community back soon!

Big congratulations to GHE student Lily Frehner, who presented at the 2026 Global Ophthalmology Summit in Philadelphia this month! Her presentation, "Sustaining Sight: The Critical Role of Pre-Departure Orientation in Global Health Electives," made the case that strong pre-departure prep isn't just an international education checkbox — it's essential to how safely and ethically medical trainees serve communities abroad. It's a great example of what happens when global health and international higher education meet. Congrats, Lily! 👏

International educators just wrapped the NAFSA Annual Conference, where the biggest topic of conversation wasn't a new initiative, it was uncertainty: visa processing, OPT, and what's next for international students navigating U.S. higher ed. Moments like this are exactly why the field needs well-trained, equity-minded professionals who can advocate for students and adapt fast. That's the work the GHE program exists to prepare people for. To everyone in this field showing up for students right now: thank you!

The future of higher education careers is being shaped by AI — and GHE students are learning to lead in it.
Our graduate program includes a dedicated course on AI in higher education, preparing students to think critically about how artificial intelligence is changing leadership and decision making in higher education. Career readiness isn't just about job skills — it's about being ready for a field that's evolving fast.
