There is still time to submit the Fall 2016 survey on international student enrollment. The purpose of this survey is to obtain feedback on current events and trends in the field that may impact your international student enrollments for this academic year (starting in Fall 2016). By sharing this information with the international education community and the media, we hope to develop a wider understanding among the press, the general public, and policy makers at state and national levels, about how higher education institutions continue to be affected by the various factors which impact international enrollments.
All institutional-level responses will be anonymous and only aggregated information will be shared. We ask for your contact information only to ensure that no more than one reply is received per institution, and to facilitate follow-up if there are any questions. If you are not the best contact for this survey, please forward it to another colleague on your campus who may be able to complete it. Please respond by October 25, 2016 so that we may include your responses in the findings that we report to the press and public during International Education Week in November 2016.

OLF Enables U.S. Institutions to Invite Fulbright Visiting Scholars to:
• Give department or campus-wide lectures to students or faculty (or both);
• Hold lectures in classrooms where the scholar can make a contribution to the discipline or country/regional
understanding;
• Meet with faculty to allow for an exchange of ideas;
• Have informal gatherings with students and faculty;
• Meet with community organizations, professional, cultural or religious groups, K-12 schools and school districts
that have a special interest in international relations.
