In partnership with Mackenzie Presbyterian University, one of the most renowned educational institutions in Brazil, Campus Brasil provided a unique internationalization at home experience for a group of Mackenzie journalism students.
The University of Mackenzie, in partnership with Campus Brasil, selected 19 journalism students to work alongside the visiting international students from Arizona State University, Ball State University and Queens University of Charlotte to help produce professional content with an intercultural lens.
The opportunity was for some the first time in Rio and the first time out of São Paulo. The experience gave these Mackenzie students an opportunity to explore more of their own country while developing intercultural competencies. The initiative was designed to not only provide further support to the international students, but moreover to emphasize internationalization at home.
