A NAFSA/IDP Webinar
NAFSA in partnership with IDP is co-hosting a webinar on the impact of U.S. Policy on shaping international student choices. Join us to learn how U.S. immigration policies, political rhetoric, and other dynamics influence where international students choose to study. In this timely webinar, we unpack the latest insights from IDP’s Emerging Futures 8 survey alongside Fall 2025 enrollment trends. Expanding on themes discussed at a recent expert roundtable hosted at NAFSA headquarters in D.C., this session will explore how recent shifts in U.S. policy are influencing student perceptions and global mobility patterns.
