Emerging from a worldwide study of 29 U.S.-trained student affairs professionals with higher education work experience abroad, this study explored the perspectives and skills developed through working abroad. The findings of this study provide useful advocacy for this group of professionals to demonstrate their unique perspectives and critical skills developed abroad that can contribute to higher education internationalization, support of international students in the United States, and address intercultural issues in higher education.
