Each semester KEI staff visit school campuses to attend study abroad fairs and meet with faculty, advisors, students and school clubs.
We will be glad to meet with you, your advisor and parents when we are in your area.
The KEI Travel Calendar has a travel schedule for the KEI regional representatives and New York based staff.
If you do not see your school listed on the calendar, we will do our best to schedule a visit to your campus.
