NAFSA: Association of International Educators promotes the exchange of students and scholars to and from the United States. The Association sets and upholds standards of good practice and provides professional education and training that strengthen institutional programs and services related to international educational exchange. NAFSA provides a forum for discussion of issues and a network for sharing information as it seeks to increase awareness of and support for international education in higher education, in government, and in the community.

NAFSA's 7,500 members-from all 50 states and 60 countries-share a belief that international educational exchange, advances learning and scholarship, builds respect among peoples, and encourages constructive leadership in a global community.

NAFSA draws members primarily from colleges and universities, but also from associations and foundations, corporations, research centers, community organizations, and cultural groups. Members of NAFSA are international student advisers, international admissions officers, ESL teachers and administrators, study abroad administrators. overseas educational advisers, and community support groups. In increasing numbers, campus health services personnel, financial aid officers, campus housing administrators, career planning specialists, and others are joining the ranks as campuses internationalize and integrate their international programs and services into campus life. Ninety percent of the foreign students in the United States are enrolled at institutions served by NAFSA members.
