Editorial leadership

Mushfique Rahman — Editor

Mushfique Rahman is the Editor of The Study Abroad Monitor, overseeing the newsroom’s editorial direction, verification and responsible reporting. Learn more on our Editorial Team page.

Mahmud Galib — Publisher & CEO, responsible for publishing strategy and operations.

Our editorial team works to verify significant claims, represent student experiences responsibly and separate independent reporting from commercial material.

Editorial independence and transparency

We report on universities, education agencies and the student experience; we are not an admissions agency. Commercial relationships do not purchase favorable coverage. We identify sponsored material clearly and disclose relevant conflicts of interest.
