Attracting international students is very important for Washington State’s economy. Not only do international students help promote our region abroad but they also account for a lot of spending dollars during their stay. In fact, international students spent roughly 533 million dollars last year.
Once these students return to their home country they naturally act as ambassadors for our state. It is in our best interest to cultivate lasting relationships so as they move through their professional careers they will remember our state, possibly resulting in foreign direct investment.
Washington State is currently ranked 11th in the United States in terms of the number of international students. Join this program to see how our business community can help our educational institutions attract more students and build stronger relationships. With more international students our economy will continue to grow now and into the future.
