In light of the evolving #coronavirus situation NAFSA has decided to cancel our 2020 Advocacy Day event. We thank advocates for their support, commitment & understanding and look forward to impacting #intled policy in additional ways together in the near future.
Still on the fence about Advocacy Day, Mar. 16-17? Reg. ends next week! To ensure that key lawmakers hear from constituents on vital #intled issues such as OPT, D/S and the #SimonBill for #studyabroad, discounted reg. rates are now available. Learn more: nafsa.org/advocacyday

Are you doing research in international education? Proposals are now being accepted for the Spring 2020 @NAFSA Research Symposium (deadline for full presentations is 1/26/2020; posters deadline is 3/1/2020) - at Northeastern University. Find more info at bit.ly/Spring2020RS#NAFSAres…
Special thanks for promoting (and even funding scholarships to) the @NAFSA spring Advocacy Day at your conferences and all year-round!
Thanks to all our Regional Leadership Teams & volunteers for another very successful regional conference season! We are so grateful for your leadership & vision! @nafsaregion1 @nafsaregioniii @nafsaregion4 @Region5NAFSA @nafsaregionvii @NAFSARegion8 @NAFSARegionX @NAFSARegion12
"The question is whether each year 100K+ #IntlStudents may graduate...and complete their education in the U.S. by working [here]...Many other nations would welcome [them], in no small part because where they go, the world’s leading companies will follow." bit.ly/35XLGhN
New @NAFSA data: the 5 Congressional districts with the largest economic impacts from #intlstudents are @JerryNadler (NY-10), @RepPressley (MA-07), @RepKarenBass (CA-37), @RepTedLieu (CA-33), @EleanorNorton (DC-AL). See how your district benefits: nafsa.org/economicvalue #IEW2019
The many faces of @NAFSARegion8 shown here with @EstherAtNAFSA. Congratulations on a very successful #R8NAFSA2019 conference! Next up: showing up big for @NAFSA Advocacy Day 2020! nafsa.org/advocacyday

We are proud to be one of the 1,400+ associations and individuals urging the Supreme Court to uphold #DACA. #Dreamers enrich their schools, workplaces, and communities with their resilience, achievement, and drive. #HomeisHere #DefendDACA #YouAreWelcomeHere H/T @CAPimmigration

Join @USIP and NAFSA for a special #IEW2019 program on Nov. 19 that will examine ties between higher education and conflict resolution, and explore innovative approaches for creating and sustaining more peaceful societies. #peacebuilding

Students who #studyabroad benefit from a well-rounded education, increased cultural awareness, and enhanced language skills. @chelliepingree, support the #SimonBill, H.R. 4555, to bring these benefits to more Americans. @nafsaregioniii #IntlEd
Our advocates in action! This could be you. Join us at @NAFSA's Advocacy Day, 2020 in Washington, D.C. to add your voice in support of #intled. nafsa.org/advocacyday
Thank you to @JohnCornyn's office for making time to discuss with @nafsaregioniii advocates the many economic and social benefits of #intled and the #SimonBill to expand #StudyAbroad access for all Americans.

“I am an extension of my mother’s dreams.” DACA provided an opportunity for Luis and his family. On Nov. 12, tell the Supreme Court: His #HomeIsHere. FWD.us/Luis

Thank you to @repmarkpocan & @RepTjCox for cosponsoring the Simon Study Abroad Program Act. #StudyAbroad provides students with the skills, knowledge, & experiences needed in today's world. The #SimonBill makes those benefits available to more Americans. nafsa.org/simon

Thank you @Nationals @MLB @astros For inviting an immigrant! To throw first pitch! In a game full of immigrants! Inviting me representing millions of first responders doing amazing work helping everyone! Specially @WCKitchen today we pass 1.5 million meals in Bahamas alone...
The exact dish that fueled the #StudyAbroad experience this @NAFSA staffer had in #Belize while in college many moons ago. How I miss it! Both the country, and the #foodsofBelize. With a glass of fresh lime juice please. 😋 #intled
In Belize, one of the main foods of the #Creoleculture is #riceandbeans. This tasty dish is often served with either stewed chicken, beef or pork; a salad (potato, fresh or coleslaw) & fried plantain. #FunFoodFriday #foodsofbelize #studyinbelize #servelearnexplore #intled
Let's make some noise in support of #intled, #StudyAbroad, and a commonsense immigration process at @NAFSA's Advocacy Day 2020. Early-bird savings fly away after January 22.
New international student enrollment continues to drop. Scholars are being turned away at U.S. airports. The #SimonBill to expand study abroad opportunities has been reintroduced. Be a voice for change. Join us for Advocacy Day, March 16–17, 2020, in D.C. nafsa.org/advocacyday

The power of @NAFSA advocates at work! We are so grateful to our @ConnectOurWorld community. Don't see your U.S. rep as a #SimonBill cosponsor yet? Let them know that increasing and expanding #StudyAbroad access matters to you! bit.ly/2Bu2MH9
Thank you to @RepSteveStivers, @PeterWelch, @RepPeterDeFazio and @RepThompson for cosponsoring the Paul Simon Study Abroad Act. #StudyAbroad leads to greater education and employment outcomes. This bill will increase access and opportunity so more Americans may benefit. #intlEd
Is making #StudyAbroad more accessible to a wider range of students important to you? Urge your U.S. representative to co-sponsor the Paul Simon Study Abroad Program Act. bit.ly/2Bu2MH9 #SimonBill
These organizations are committed to making study abroad dreams come true for traditionally underrepresented students. ow.ly/I93Y50wLqtI

Thank you Chairman @RepEliotEngel for your support of #intlstudents and scholars. #WelcomeToSucceed #YouAreWelcomeHere
Grateful to meet with @EstherAtNAFSA. The U.S. benefits economically & culturally from #IntlStudents. Dr. Brimmer & those at @NAFSA help to ensure that the U.S. remains a top destination for international students.
