This document outlines a graduate student exchange program between Middlesex University in London and Loyola University in Chicago from 2006 to 2011. It provides a timeline of the key events, including the initial planning phase, two implementation phases where students studied at each university's campus, and an evaluation and action planning phase. During their time at each university, students attended classes, workshops, and seminars, and went on residential visits to companies like Google, Microsoft, and Wilson Sports to gain industry exposure. The program aimed to provide students with a unique international learning experience.
