WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT TIES 2015
Attending the 1st Annual Workshop for the Internationalization of Higher Education (TIES 2015) organized by Civitas Global Education Services and hosted by Universidad de Cienfuegos.
The event was very productive in providing first hand insight about educational initiatives in Cuba as well as the interest of US institutions. It was quite interesting to hear about
Collaboration Cuban institutions have had with Argentina, Ecuadorian and European Institutions. The event served as an excellent opportunity to become familiar with
Cuban institutions for those interested in establishing collaboration as diplomatic ties between the US and Cub may allow for the re-establishment of education related collaboration.

I attended TIES 2015 conference and not only did I meet great colleagues from across the USA, who have become friends, but Hamline walked away with great new partners in Cienfuegos that we are simply thrilled to be working along side. Our visit resulted in a January, 2017 course and March, 2017 choir tour. We are looking forward to deepening this relationship with faculty, staff and student exchange in the near future. Of course, none of this would have happened without the great work and advice of Civitas GES. TIES, 2015 was an incredible success!
, Director, International and Off-Campus Programs, Hamline UniversityI found the TIES conference to be a wonderful venue for establishing relationships across institutions and individuals. The organizers were efficient, responsive, and well prepared to handle a large, diverse group of international educators.
, Dean, The Burnett Honors College, University of Central FloridaAttending TIES 2015 was my first Cuban experience and it exceeded my expectations: a diverse mix participants (US and Cuban institutions as well as government representatives), a variety of presentations, and an urban experience outside of Havana. Overall, a hospitable and well-organized conference event. TIES 2015 spoke to International Educators and faculty and administrators from a range of academic disciplines (STEM, Humanities, Education, etc.) and provided the vehicle for educators from Cuba and America interested in the region to spend time together. It truly was a priceless experience.
