“This was my first national NAFSA Conference, so of course, I was nervous. However, NAFSA felt so natural- the colleagues I met were so like-minded, the sessions I attended were the epitome of why I am in the international education field, and the networking events were just what I needed to establish my name. This was the best investment I could have possibly made!”
