30. Larissa Bezo: Catching up on Canada

As the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) prepares for its annual conference in November, we sit down with its Chief Executive Officer, Larissa Bezo, to catch up on how Canada’s international higher education has emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic and is gearing up to navigate the complex dynamics of today’s international scenario.
Drawing on her 15-year long experience in the international development and education sector, Larissa reminds us that by being true to its values and mission, and nurturing its community, international higher education can take on any challenge and turn it into a meaningful opportunity.
