Everyone benefits from Jennings global vision. He believes in creating opportunity for international students who wish to come to the United States, as well as for those staying in their own country. "Exchange programs give everybody a broader vision of life. I truly believe that the international experience is life-enhancing, not only for the students who come here, but also for the domestic students, faculty and staff who interact with them on a daily basis," said Jennings. A good example would be the new student housing facility (Campus Corner Apartments). "Presently, fifty percent of the students living there are international and the other fifty percent are domestic.  Our goal since the inception of the housing facility is to create fun-filled activities that foster friendships and mutual understandings that last a lifetime."

As a visionary leader, Jennings not only offers wisdom to his students and staff but also to the global community. He recently wrote articles for Global Studies Magazine which has a world-wide distribution. The first article, The Community College Choice talks about the benefits of attending community college after high school vs. going straight into a four-year college.  Transfer 101 advises international students on what is needed to get into a top four year college in the U.S. In both articles, he makes references to the importance of extracurricular activities.  Vonny Salim is a prime example of someone who got into a top U.S. college (Johns Hopkins) and who was given the opportunity at Green River to get involved on and off campus.

As another academic years comes to a close, Ross Jennings wishes to express his gratitude to all the international agents. "I am deeply grateful to our educational partners for their support of Green River Community College. Like us, you work hard to make sure students are very well served and benefit from our excellent educational programs so that they may transfer to top universities across the U.S."
