My remarks, as prepared for the immigration working group of the Intergovernmental Consultations on Migration, Asylum & Refugees on how a whole-of-gov't approach to a national strategy for #intled would boost U.S. competitiveness, its economy & innovation: bit.ly/32q9YEQ

As we turn our attention to the Thanksgiving holiday & its tradition of gratitude, I am pleased to share the recent reflection of Board President, @JeffRiedinger as he marked #IEW2021 by highlighting signs that #intled is moving in a positive direction. nafsa.org/blog/welcoming…

We faced many challenges to our #intled work & mission in 2021 but we learned rich lessons in perseverance & adaptation. We look forward to a promising 2022 where we can connect, learn & grow in innovative ways. On behalf of NAFSA, may your new year be filled w/ peace & joy!

My reflection on my own family's life-changing experience with #intled, and what is gained when international educators open doors—to students, scholars, and to those wishing to join the profession. nafsa.org/ie-magazine/20…

.NAFSA is proud to recognize 5 #HEI that are exemplars in integrating internationalization into the very fabric of their institutions, providing access to diverse students and & faculty, & engaging their communities. Meet the 2022 #SimonAward winners! youtu.be/O-ZKIvNG3RI

We share the world’s outrage over Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine & feel deeply for those caught in the crossfire & those w/ ties to the area. This is a shameful act of aggression. Our thoughts are w/ all forced to bear the cost w/ their lives & livelihoods. bit.ly/35sfCYH

“For the U.S. to succeed in the global competition for talent, hearts & minds, it must open its door wider to the world.” Read my full response to a The Washington Post piece in which I affirm the value of #intlstudents & how the U.S. can better attract them. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

It has been a deeply rewarding experience to lead NAFSA & to promote #intled's contributions to broader issues, such as combating authoritarianism, expanding academic freedom, and advancing social justice. I look forward to NAFSA's continued success. bit.ly/3yKBCtU

Staving off Chinese competition by subsidizing the semiconductor industry will miss the mark if the U.S. does not do more to attract & retain #intlstudents. Read my op-ed in The Hill. #intled thehill.com/opinion/congre…

Happy #IEW2022! We begin by announcing new data that quantifies the economic activity & jobs supported by #intlstudents. Totals are up, but we must do more. These students are a well-spring of fresh ideas & have fueled American innovation for generations. nafsa.org/econvalue

It was a profoundly moving experience to receive the Institute of International Education (IIE) Centennial Medal from CEO Dr. Allan Goodman.
