    Breaking Higher Education Barriers Across Borders

    In this bonus episode of Telling Our Story, Leticia Maldonado chats with three presidents from Mexican postsecondary institutions. Together, they discuss the importance of binational higher education collaborations between Mexico and the U.S., the mutual benefits of those collaborations for students and communities in both countries, and promising practices that Mexican institutions are implementing that increase access to postsecondary education and enhance workforce development. This is an English translation of our recent Spanish-language episode, “Superando Barreras en la Educación Superior más allá de las Fronteras.”
