While political landscapes continually shift, the need to advocate for international education, locally and globally, persists. Effective advocacy adapts to both supportive and challenging environments. This session reviews examples of advocacy at different levels: 'Big A', focusing on government and policy-level initiatives, and 'Small A', highlighting localized efforts within institutions and communities. Panelists will discuss strategies that are effective in supportive environments as well as those necessary to make inroads in less welcoming ones.

This presentation is based on session content offered at the 2025 NAFSA Annual Conference. Grab a front-row seat for this popular content from San Diego. Great sessions need an encore! NAFSA Peer-to-Peer events are virtual offerings where international education professionals discuss current topics. These online events let you hear best practices and connect with colleagues in your field. Peer-to-Peer events are a NAFSA member benefit. The presentation will be recorded and made available to NAFSA members; non-members may join the live event only for $59.
