The PIE‘s editorial team has been hard at work pulling together a list of innovative leaders, marketeers, activists and policy makers in the region who all offer valuable commentary on the international education ecosystem.
This year’s list features a totally different group of people to last year’s list to shine a light on a new set of names who are changing the game in North America.
The launch of the list comes ahead of The PIE Live North America Conference that will be taking place November 18-19 in Boston, US.
With the international education sector in Canada facing new challenges – including a further squeeze on overseas student places – and the US gearing up for another dramatic presidential election, both the 50 voices list and the conference are arriving at a pivotal time for the industry.
Beth Kennedy, editor of The PIE, explains the importance on compiling such a list in light of the many headwinds the sector is facing.
International education in North America is facing bigger obstacles than ever before

“International education in North America is facing bigger obstacles than ever before – which is exactly why the time is ripe to celebrate those who are truly making their voices heard and advocating for change.”
The list includes Luis Van Ahn, who by his mid-20s had sold two companies to Google and went on to co-found the language-learning giant Duolingo, which is used by millions worldwide.
Among others, the list also features Kate Jennings, former chair of the NAFSA international education leadership knowledge community and a current curriculum developer and instructor for the Canadian Bureau of International Education (CBIE).
