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.
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.

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

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.
Cel­e­brate Black His­to­ry Month with inspir­ing and infor­ma­tive reads rec­om­mend­ed on JBC’s Insta­gram by @lanitraberger, Bruce D. Haynes, and @Carolivia. And be sure to check out the authors’ own books, too! 👉bit.ly/3h72qLr
Check out my interview w/ @petalmodeste for her excellent podcast. We spoke about my @BloomsburyAcad Irma Stern book, my San Bernardino teachers, racial justice, tikkun olam, & why all children need access to global perspectives. @JewishBook #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistoryMonth
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.

Proud of @NAFSA and the outstanding advocacy team for helping international students thrive in the US.
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. nafsa.org/about/about-nafsa/… @EstherAtNAFSA @lanitraberger

Great way to start #IEW2021
Happy #InternationalEducationWeek! #IEW celebrates the benefits of international education & exchange – part of ED & @StateDept’s efforts to prepare Americans for a global environment & attract future leaders from abroad to study & learn. iew.state.gov/ #IEW2021
What is the history of racial segregation and discrimination in your neighborhood? @GeorgeMasonU students wanted to learn about Fairfax, VA. Check out the new video about our @Mason_OSCAR summer student research project #BlackLivesNextDoor
