Sustaining International Education: Strategies and Solutions for Leaders

NAFSA welcomes you to join us at the Symposium on Leadership 2022, a special signature program included with All-Access Pass registration for the NAFSA 2022 Annual Conference & Expo.

The aftermath of the coronavirus global pandemic presents ongoing challenges as international education (IE) leaders and senior international officers (SIOs) regularly address evolving institutional priorities, react to shifting fiscal realities, and navigate the complex changes occurring throughout our field. We also work in a world where climate change, poverty, and global inequity remain, compelling many IE leaders to monitor and incorporate the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a guiding strategy. The 2022 Symposium on Leadership will offer current and aspiring internationalization leaders with fresh perspectives and practical insight designed to enhance individual and institutional effectiveness. The Symposium is an ideal opportunity to network with other IE leaders and SIOs, engage in meaningful dialogue with international colleagues, and bring new ideas home to help sustain international education at your organization.

A NAFSA Signature Program offered by the International Education Leadership Knowledge Community.
