ICYMI: ??ADVOCACY ALERT??

What can you do? Join NAFSA and its coalition partners, the Alliance for International Exchange and The Forum on Education Abroad in calling on Congress to intervene immediately. Congress needs to know these programs are essential to U.S. economic and national security and that these programs have champions.
