Building alliances with corporations, jobs and internships.

Brandeis IBS’ involvement in Latin America has been made possible through the professional and connections the school has made with universities, scholarship programs and external associations.

Academic Initiatives

Brandeis IBS has partnerships with 20 universities worldwide, giving students the opportunity to participate in overseas internships and academic exchanges. Among the partner universities are Brazil’s Fundação Getúlio Vargas and Mexico’s Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM).

Brandeis University was also selected as one of 18 U.S. academic institutions to participate in the new Institute of International Education's (IIE) International Academic Partnership Program, which is focused on building partnerships between higher education in the United States and Brazil.

External Connections

Dean Bruce Magid accompanied Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on a trade mission to Brazil in December 2011. In April, he joined a team, along with Governor Patrick and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, to discuss economic development and clean energy partnerships. Magid shared his experience in a radio segment on WBUR’s Radio Boston.

Magid was also profiled in a recent issue of ALPFA’s newsletter (PDF), where he discussed the job market and employment strategies for job seekers.
