Dear Colleagues,
Come join us in Washington for NAFSA's 60th Anniversary Conference! We have planned a great set of programs for senior campus international leaders (and those aspiring to senior leadership positions), covering all the issues you need to know more about.
There will also be terrific networking opportunities where you can meet up with colleagues and make new contacts. These are all outlined in the schedule. To make things more convenient, we are holding most IEL activities in the Renaissance Hotel, right beside the Convention Center. Then, of course, there is everything that Washington DC has to offer. I look forward to seeing you in Washington this May.
