The volunteers serving on the NAFSA Education Abroad Knowledge Community (EAKC), in partnership with NAFSA staff, monitor compliance management issues that affect the ability of U.S. students to study abroad. Some issues require liaison work with U.S. or foreign government officials while other issues are addressed through the development of practice resources and education offerings.
Inform the NAFSA staff and volunteer leadership about emerging trends in compliance management via our Report an EA Issue tool. Please note that you may not receive direct follow-up concerning your submission; the tool is used to identify and monitor trends and to prioritize issues for government agency liaison.
