State-Level International Education Resolution Resources

While NAFSA continues to advocate for a national policy on international education, individual NAFSA members across the country are building momentum for this effort by working to get their state to pass a state-level international education resolution.

Goal: To have resolutions passed in 25 states by the 2008 Annual Conference
Status: As of Feb. 2008, 14 states have passed resolutions in one or both chambers of their state legislature, and several others are in the process.

The following resources will guide you in learning more about how your state can enact its own international education resolution.
