Thank you, @SenBooker for being such a strong champion for #InternationalExchange programs! Your leadership and Co-Chairmanship of the Congressional International Exchange Caucus is a true testament to your commitment to public diplomacy!
On this Exchange Day, I’m reminded of the advancements we can make through people-to-people exchange.
When young people from around the world come to our communities, and when our own students and citizens venture abroad, we plant seeds of understanding and shared purpose that strengthen our partnerships, protect our security, and help create a more peaceful, collborative world.

Thank you, @RepBera for your commitment to #InternationalExchanges and your Co-Chairmanship of the new Congressional International Exchanges Caucus! We are grateful for your steadfast leadership and support of these important programs!
As co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional International Exchanges Caucus, I am proud to celebrate Exchange Day and the programs that build lasting people-to-people ties, strengthen our alliances, and advance American leadership around the world.
I was honored to help launch this caucus in June and look forward to continuing to build bipartisan support for these vital programs in the years ahead.

Today we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, one of Arkansas’s greatest legacies.

NEW: The Trump administration announced in federal court today that it was reversing its action to terminate the legal status of thousands of international students, often on minor, or even dismissed, legal infractions. DHS is working on a new policy for student visas.
