In Focus
Cynthia Banks didn’t have the opportunity to study abroad as a student. The summer after graduating in 1989, she helped a marketing professor take a group of undergraduates to Australia to study at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. The Colorado native launched an international education organization a year later that would eventually send 30,000 students to 27 countries and offer 150 programs worldwide.
