Advocacy

NAFSA is one of the strongest voices in building government and public awareness of the critical role that international education plays in local, regional, national, and global societies.

NAFSA works to:

• Enhance public and leadership understanding of the value of international education.
• Promote a U.S. national policy on international education.
• Intensify strategies for recruiting international students.
• Encourage U.S. government support for study abroad.
• Influence U.S. immigration policies to benefit U.S. students and scholars.
