Abstract
As the world population increases and the trajectory of meat trade continues to expand across the borders of sovereign nations, it is important for university educators to increase the opportunities that undergraduate and graduate students have for engaging with other cultures. In the future, it is unlikely that students can be successful in a meat-based career without knowledge of the global markets. The Meat Science Group at Colorado State University have tried to offer such opportunities to students by engaging them in research; providing forums for exchange, internships, capacity building, and participating in international scientific meetings; and offering courses that assist students in their understanding of the global marketplace. As the world becomes a smaller place, all such student international activities are becoming a compulsory need to accommodate the Land Grant Mission.

This paper considers options for improving international exposure for undergraduate and graduate students that truly expands their awareness and knowledge of other cultures to facilitate agricultural success
Summary
Scientists have striven for many decades to extend their impact into international circles. International opportunities for students opportunities exist for student learning that directly impact product value and profitability Likewise, those opportunities lead to a wide range of career choices. Whether students are just interested in the bottom line in the market sectors they serve or if they aspire to enter careers involving foreign negotiations or service to humanity, there is a growing need for institutions of higher learning to promote training in these fields. This is even more true in the livestock and meat trade. This paper considers options for improving international exposure for undergraduate and graduate students that truly expands their awareness and knowledge of other cultures to facilitate agricultural success
