About the 2021 Event
In 2021, students found Your Global Future in …
- Business & STEM;
- Nonprofits;
- the Government & Service;
- Study Abroad; and,
- Colleges & Universities
Due to the circumstances of 2021, the fair brought global possibilities right to students where they are, in-person. Over five consecutive days, the IRC brought sponsoring speakers from a different international path to present directly to an auditorium full of students at a local high school, while also live streaming and recording the event for other teachers and students to access across the area.
2021’s Your Global Future included flexible programming options for students, teachers, and organizations to take advantage of in their school auditorium, classroom, or at home. Participating schools had access to:
- A panel with different speakers each a day for 5 days, scheduled during the school day;
- Further information from panelists here on the Your Global Future webpage;
- Raffle drawings for prizes for students and teachers;
- Recording of the event for registered students and IRC members.
