NAFSA members are invited to a special NAFSA Town Hall on the latest legislative and regulatory policy updates affecting international education: where we’ve had success, where we’re facing obstacles, and what’s next.

NAFSA’s panel of experts will highlight recent changes benefiting study abroad and international students and scholars; offer a “behind-the-scenes” look at what’s likely to occur in the remaining congressional and presidential terms, and identify opportunities for NAFSA members to engage.

Don’t miss this important opportunity to enhance your policy and advocacy knowledge as we approach the U.S. general election. The involvement of members like you is essential to NAFSA’s success in securing key policy improvements to better serve students around the world!
