PDX Abroad envisions a community of innovators advancing the field of education abroad through active engagement across institutional and organizational boundaries. We provide leadership within the Portland area and a platform for local education abroad professionals to collaborate and innovate.
The idea of PDX Abroad began in 2013 when Nick Berger, Samantha Cooper, and Giustina Pelosi felt there was a need for local engagement and collaboration for Education Abroad professionals in Portland. In order to provide a space for professionals to network, share ideas, gain professional development, innovate, and work collaboratively to improve the field of international education, PDX Abroad launched in January 2014. Beginning with just monthly happy hours, PDX Abroad continues to grow and holds regular Think Tank sessions and other regional events by request, and is currently developing a local scholarship with the Fund for Education Abroad.
