July 3, 2019, is my last day at @NAFSA. 11 years working with our thousands of advocates have been incredibly rewarding, but I've decided to take on a new challenge that will keep #IntlEd close to my heart: I'm pursuing an MBA as an #IntlStudent at @UBCSauderSchool in Vancouver.

@qiaolilyhuang @NAFSA @UBCSauderSchool @IEIllinois Thank you, Lily! I didn't realize you started an MBA too - congrats and best of luck to you too!!

[Katie O'Connell @KatieAtNAFSA]

It has been a true pleasure working with @NAFSA, @ConnectOurWorld, and all of our advocates, partners, and allies. I wish you all the best as you continue the advocacy marathon!

[Katie O'Connell @KatieAtNAFSA]

Upon my departure, keep an eye out for messages from @RebeccaAtNAFSA and Kasey Penfield from @ConnectOurWorld. I know that they are both very excited to work with our advocates & celebrate many more future advocacy successes!

Thank you @robtfrank for having me on @CNBC to discuss Chinese students in the U.S. #IntlStudents make tremendous academic, cultural & economic contributions to the U.S. and become our greatest foreign policy assets. https://t.co/wFxBrunLi5

Shankar Vedantam @HiddenBrain is giving some great examples of how #IntlEd, exchanges, and diversity leads to more innovation and creativity in business and other endeavors.
