As budgets tighten and institutions increasingly focus on measurable outcomes, education abroad professionals are being called upon to demonstrate the value of their programs in new ways. Join several leaders featured in NAFSA's International Education article “Making the Case with Data” for a practical conversation about how they gather, analyze, and use data to advance education abroad. Learn how institutions are connecting participation, retention, student success, and career outcomes to strategic priorities, and discover actionable approaches you can use to strengthen advocacy efforts on your own campus. Whether you're just beginning your data journey or looking to strengthen your reporting efforts, you'll leave with ideas for making a more compelling case for education abroad.
