The Institute of International Education (IIE), together with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, released the latest news on international students in the United States and U.S. students studying abroad. The Open Doors findings were the topic of a briefing on November 13 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, with Assistant Secretary of State Ann Stock and IIE President Allan Goodman, in conjunction with the worldwide observance of International Education Week. The event included a presentation of the data and a lively conversation about international education among the assembled group of more than 200 educators, US and foreign government representatives, international associations, and members of the press.

As you may have seen, this year’s news on international educational exchange has received very strong press coverage nationally and internationally. We have also seen good local coverage, no doubt thanks to the good work of individual campuses working to promote their own statistics and activities. Congratulations to all, and we hope your international education week is going well.
Here are links to a few major news stories, and you will be able to see more clips on our "In the News" page as the week goes on.
