Marie Bellevue
Questions, connections, and the occasional rabbit hole.
Hello, I’m Marie Bellevue!
Researcher, writer, systems-builder, and professional rabbit-hole enthusiast. I’m fascinated by people, the systems that shape their lives, and the stories hiding in the space between the two. This is where I share my work, my writing, and the questions I can’t seem to leave alone. Welcome.

COVID-19 affects international enrollment, experience in higher education, experts say
According to Hans de Wit, director of Boston College’s Center for International Higher Education, top research institutions will see little difference in their foreign student enrollment, but smaller private institutions will face a larger effect. Institutions need to improve rather than hit the “reset button” when there is an opening to resume normal instruction, de Wit added.
