In light of the evolving #coronavirus situation NAFSA has decided to cancel our 2020 Advocacy Day event. We thank advocates for their support, commitment & understanding and look forward to impacting #intled policy in additional ways together in the near future.

@averydanzig Sorry to hear that! Thank you for the solidarity all the same!

Still on the fence about Advocacy Day, Mar. 16-17? Reg. ends next week! To ensure that key lawmakers hear from constituents on vital #intled issues such as OPT, D/S and the #SimonBill for #studyabroad, discounted reg. rates are now available. Learn more: https://t.co/MZxm2rHsnk

"The question is whether each year 100K+ #IntlStudents may graduate...and complete their education in the U.S. by working [here]...Many other nations would welcome [them], in no small part because where they go, the world’s leading companies will follow." https://t.co/DUZCP9Neps

New @NAFSA data: the 5 Congressional districts with the largest economic impacts from #intlstudents are @JerryNadler (NY-10), @RepPressley (MA-07), @RepKarenBass (CA-37), @RepTedLieu (CA-33), @EleanorNorton (DC-AL). See how your district benefits: https://t.co/SGt7NNkW0j #IEW2019

We are proud to be one of the 1,400+ associations and individuals urging the Supreme Court to uphold #DACA. #Dreamers enrich their schools, workplaces, and communities with their resilience, achievement, and drive. #HomeisHere #DefendDACA #YouAreWelcomeHere H/T @CAPimmigration

Students who #studyabroad benefit from a well-rounded education, increased cultural awareness, and enhanced language skills. @chelliepingree, support the #SimonBill, H.R. 4555, to bring these benefits to more Americans. @nafsaregioniii #IntlEd

[Connecting Our World @ConnectOurWorld]

Our advocates in action! This could be you. Join us at @NAFSA's Advocacy Day, 2020 in Washington, D.C. to add your voice in support of #intled. https://t.co/IHSyGQFDPC

[NAFSA @NAFSA]

Thank you to @JohnCornyn's office for making time to discuss with @nafsaregioniii advocates the many economic and social benefits of #intled and the #SimonBill to expand #StudyAbroad access for all Americans.

“I am an extension of my mother’s dreams.” DACA provided an opportunity for Luis and his family. On Nov. 12, tell the Supreme Court: His #HomeIsHere. https://t.co/zCblybeDUO

[NAFSA @NAFSA]

Thank you to @repmarkpocan & @RepTjCox for cosponsoring the Simon Study Abroad Program Act. #StudyAbroad provides students with the skills, knowledge, & experiences needed in today's world. The #SimonBill makes those benefits available to more Americans. https://t.co/olp82aRKaz

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

Thank you @Nationals @MLB @astros For inviting an immigrant! To throw first pitch! In a game full of immigrants! Inviting me representing millions of first responders doing amazing work helping everyone! Specially @WCKitchen today we pass 1.5 million meals in Bahamas alone...

The exact dish that fueled the #StudyAbroad experience this @NAFSA staffer had in #Belize while in college many moons ago. How I miss it! Both the country, and the #foodsofBelize. With a glass of fresh lime juice please. 😋 #intled

[Toucan Education Programs @studyinbelize]

In Belize, one of the main foods of the #Creoleculture is #riceandbeans. This tasty dish is often served with either stewed chicken, beef or pork; a salad (potato, fresh or coleslaw) & fried plantain. #FunFoodFriday #foodsofbelize #studyinbelize #servelearnexplore #intled

[Connecting Our World @ConnectOurWorld]

Let's make some noise in support of #intled, #StudyAbroad, and a commonsense immigration process at @NAFSA's Advocacy Day 2020. Early-bird savings fly away after January 22.

[NAFSA @NAFSA]

New international student enrollment continues to drop. Scholars are being turned away at U.S. airports. The #SimonBill to expand study abroad opportunities has been reintroduced. Be a voice for change. Join us for Advocacy Day, March 16–17, 2020, in D.C. https://t.co/ElqlHnvHxo
