Twelfth stop of CIEE's nationwide tour celebrated exceptional host employers and other community leaders of BridgeUSA in Maryland
OCEAN CITY, Maryland, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) was in beautiful Ocean City this week for the twelfth stop on its nationwide BridgeUSA Celebration Tour that spotlights how international exchange programs powered by the U.S. Department of State are making America safer through diplomacy, stronger through global collaboration, and more prosperous through innovation and shared opportunity.
In vibrant Ocean City, CIEE celebrated champions of the BridgeUSA Summer Work Travel program, which brings international college students to live and work in America during their university summer break, helping seasonal employers expand and extend the tourism season by an average of 50 days, contributing billions of dollars to the American economy each year.
BridgeUSA Makes America Safer and Stronger
BridgeUSA is one of America's most powerful public diplomacy tools. By connecting future global leaders with American communities, it fosters mutual understanding, strengthens international relationships, and creates lifelong advocates for the United States around the world.
BridgeUSA Makes America More Prosperous
BridgeUSA Summer Work Travel participants enable thousands of local businesses to extend the duration of their peak-season sales surge, which, in turn, allows local businesses to employ more Americans for a longer seasonal period.
