Education as Public Diplomacy the Focus of NACAC’s Executive Virtual Forum

NACAC’s Executive Virtual Forums serve senior leaders within the postsecondary educational admission profession, including deans, directors, and enrollment managers. The opening forum addresses the role of international education programming in public diplomacy. Representatives from the U.S. Department of State share their perspective on student mobility and campus internationalization. The presenters will also discuss international students as leaders at home and abroad, as well as the impact these students and their mobility have on economics and trade. Linda Larson, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions/Senior International Specialist at the University of California-Berkeley, will offer her insight as well. In closing, the presenters will provide an overview of the services offered by EducationUSA, and other Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs programs.
