Testimonials:
"SWIPE is a tremendous resource for International Program Directors and the like. Having a community of knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help people is invaluable in a field of regular change, poor training, and filled with gray areas. It has helped me grow in my knowledge and helped our school improve our program greatly! Thanks SWIPE!" - Chris Chacko, International Program Director, Norfolk Christian Schools
"I would say the benefits have been having this warm and welcoming community to bounce ideas off of. It’s great that we all have that common responsibility of international students allowing our conversations to dig a little deeper. The monthly polls in meetings have also been great in confirming some things that I may be doing right, as well as giving room for growth in learning so that I can serve our students better. Additionally, I’ve enjoyed meeting "Swipers" on the road as well as introducing new people to SWIPE. A fellow member and I have now been to at least six countries together!" - Angela Jackson Mapetla, Director of Admissions, International Student Coordinator, Blue Ridge School
