Welcome back listeners! Series 2, Ep1 opens with Moustafa Ezz, Director of International Recruitment & Strategy at Huron at Western University in Ontario, Canada.

Moustafa’s perspective is one that has been informed by both his own international school experience and his first hand understanding of inequality and deep injustices he witnessed growing up in the Gulf. Knowing more about his past and what it means for the non-traditional students recruited by his team, we can ensure that in lesser-seen, or lesser-visited parts of their world, innovation and adaptation in a post-COVID world can continue. Admissions conversations can and must remain global despite flights being largely grounded, because talent is still evenly distributed even if opportunities are not. We may however have to re-imagine what college looks like, at least in the short term. Leaders like Moustafa help to lay down the gauntlet for colleagues in international recruitment. Huron’s website says that their liberal arts and ethics curriculum aims to give personalized learning experiences to students while also developing their character, and that the result is students who are formidable Leaders with Heart who care about the people and world around them. With Leaders like Moustafa at the helm, they are sure to fulfill that mission.
