Tabulating the Votes

Videos Promoting Impact and Ideals
NAFSA invites you to submit a video that showcases the impact of international education. You may want to address any of the following:
- How does your campus and community welcome and orient international students?
- How do returned study abroad students contribute to the integration of international students on your campus?
- How are true, lasting friendships between domestic and international students facilitated on your campus?
- How do immigration issues affect your campus and community?
- How has international education affected the success of your students in finding employment or advancing their careers?
- How does your faculty engage international students in helping all students explore world cultures?
- How does your institution collaborate with partners abroad to help solve global problems?
- How does your institution encourage all students to think and act globally?
How Videos Will be Judged
The review team welcomes submissions from all institutional types; submissions from community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and minority-serving institutions are especially encouraged. A panel of judges will evaluate eligible videos on quality, relevance, impact, and creativity, and select six top videos.
- The selected six videos will be posted on the main contest page, and we will invite international educators to vote for their favorite video from April 22 through May 6.
- The winning video and runners-up will be selected from among the finalists based both on the judging of our expert panel of judges and on the public voting. The winner and runners-up will be announced at the Annual Conference Business Meeting, Wednesday, May 29, 2013.
