This live virtual event will be recorded and available to NAFSA members.

International education today defines our path forward. Sustaining success requires a multifaceted approach that involves an investment in people, cultivation of key relationships, and a keen sense of business savvy.  In the U.S., we recognize the need to address challenges related to policies and strategies both locally and nationally. The panel of experts at this live Virtual Summit will discuss how international educators can support the long-term health of the field and the communities that benefit from this work. This live Virtual Summit is the second of a three-part series designed to celebrate 75 years of NAFSA: Association of International Educators. 

NAFSA 75th Anniversary Summits are a NAFSA member benefit. Nonmembers may attend for a fee.
