NAFSAns work together to promote peace, social justice, and mutual understanding at home and abroad. I’m looking forward to gathering as a community in #Denver this month to discuss how international educators can confront racism.

[NAFSA @NAFSA]

We stand with our members in deploring the hate-fueled violence in Buffalo & Orange County and our hearts are heavy for the lives taken & traumatized. But words are not enough. We must prioritize practical ways to overcome hatred with thoughtful engagement and meaningful action.

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

Excellent article by @eberkon about #studentloans in the DC area featuring @Staying_Sasha .

[Eliza Tebo @elizajanetebo]

“We’re just going to start sinking as soon as they kick in.” D.C.-area residents are concerned about how they’ll be able to afford life in the District when the pause on student-loan payments eventually ends.

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

Stunning work by my colleagues ⁦@ellaschild⁩ ⁦@GeorgeOberle⁩ & Ben Carton to guide student researchers in leading the discussion about confronting George Mason’s complex relationship to human enslavement. A long overdue conversation. Congrats! https://t.co/u8go0BWmho

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

@NAFSA and #intled are stronger because of @madeleine ‘s leadership in policy, scholarship, and public life. She truly led by example.

[Esther D. Brimmer @EstherAtNAFSA]

I am deeply saddened by the passing of @Madeleine, and extend my sincere sympathies to her family. She was an inspiration & mentor to me and a great ally to the field of #intled. (1/2)

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

Looking forward to being with these amazing women for a day of empowerment and finding your voice.

[NAFSA Region I @nafsaregion1]

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

I’m always happy to recommend Gabrielle Edgcombe’s groundbreaking book about German-Jewish refugee scholars at #HBCUs . Check out my interview on @NAFSA ‘s IE podcast where I share my personal connection to this incredible story.

[Parenting for the Future Podcast @petalmodeste]

I’m so excited to share this week’s conversation with @lanitraberger, whose work touches on so many important issues: art, social activism, racial justice and public monuments.

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

@NAFSA leaders met today virtually to learn from each other & prepare for an exciting year ahead for #intled . Thank you for your service to NAFSA & the field! @NAFSA_Region_3 @nafsaregionvii @nafsaVI @NAFSARegion8 @nafsaregion1 @nafsaregion4 @EstherAtNAFSA

[LaNitra M. Berger @lanitraberger]

Proud of @NAFSA and the outstanding advocacy team for helping international students thrive in the US.

[Francisco Marmolejo @fmarmole]

The role of @NAFSA advocating for allowing international students in the U.S. to gain more practical experience, has greatly contributed to key gov. changes on the OPT rules. One of the many reasons why joining NAFSA matters.
