NAFSA just released its 2010 report on international students and the money they contribute to the US economy. How much of the $18.8 billion (yes, with “B”) is YOUR school getting?
Find out here.

I was at the NAFSA Region X conference last week, and heard a great discussion topic about the power of education in the international arena. The speaker made the point that education counts as an export. Think about it: a student pays money…and leaves the country with an education.It’s no different that someone buying a television set from China or a Volvo from Sweden.

And when you think about it in terms or real US dollars…it kind of puts a new emphasis on the importance of your international recruiting strategy, no?
