Mexican students have long sought opportunities to study in the U.S., writes @colgate.edu's @rachelgracenewman.bsky.social. Campus crackdowns today aren't likely to change that. zps.la/4wr8wtW

If you open a book to a random page, say page 99, is this a good indication of what the book's content & quality are like throughout? Blogger Marshal Zeringue asked me to apply this test to my book, and my reply is featured today on the blog! page99test.blogspot.com/2026/07/rach...

This article reminds us that we must be thinking about intl students as more than avatars of cultural diplomacy or members of a classroom. What they do on campus, and what drives their educational trajectories, is shaped by personal career aspirations.
