WELCOME FROM NAFSA’S PRESIDENT AND 

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & CEO 

Dear Colleagues, 

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to NAFSA’s 65 th Annual Conference & Expo, the premier event 

where the field of international education comes together. The week ahead offers numerous 

opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and strategies you need to better serve your 

institution, advance your career, and meet colleagues from around the world. The iconic St. Louis arch 

serves as the perfect backdrop to inspire us all to reach new heights in international education. 

We’re pleased to showcase plenary speakers whose perspectives will encourage each of us to reflect 

on the conference theme, Ideals and Impact in International Education. We are privileged to welcome 

Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations, to give the address at our opening 

plenary, and Oscar Arias, Nobel laureate and former president of Costa Rica, to end the week. 

We know how important networking is to you. We make it easy and enjoyable to meet other 

colleagues and to feel connected with this unique conference community. Join us at the Wednesday 

and Thursday plenaries to hear the inspiring stories of Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa, MD, and Rye 

Barcott. Open meetings facilitate networking around specific themes and the Friday International 

Plenary and Networking Luncheon, Member Interest Group luncheons, and special events including 

the opening and closing celebrations and knowledge community networking receptions all help you 

connect. Don't miss the Annual Business Meeting featuring winners of our International Education 

Video Celebration contest, and a wonderful cultural event at St. Louis’s imaginative City Museum. 

The conference would not be a reality without the creativity and unwavering commitment of many. We 

express our deep appreciation and gratitude for the enormous contributions of our presenters, 

exhibitors, sponsors, Annual Conference Committee, and Local Arrangements Team. 

Thank you for joining us at the 2013 Annual Conference & Expo. As you participate in thought-provoking 

sessions and seminars, connect with new and familiar colleagues, and build partnerships in our worldclass 

Expo Hall, we encourage you to explore the ideals and impact of international education. 

With warmest regards,

FIRST-TIME ATTENDEES 

GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FIRST NAFSA ANNUAL 

CONFERENCE & EXPO! 

With so many educational offerings, networking events, and learning opportunities, it 

can be easy to feel overwhelmed if you don’t have a plan in place. Hopefully you had 

time to review the first-timers website, at www.nafsa.org/ac13firsttimers, prior to the 

conference. If not, don’t worry; we’ve developed a number of opportunities throughout 

the conference week that will help you develop a plan and get the most out of the 

week. All of these offerings are included in your registration.

The key to a successful conference is putting yourself in smaller, more intimate groups 

where you can truly connect and learn from your peers. Some of the best 

opportunities to do this are: 

■ Open Meetings–These informal meetings allow you to connect with peers 

interested in the same topic or in similar situations. The group decides where the 

conversation will go. 

■ Poster Fairs–These presentations allow you to interact with presenters 

one-on-one. 

■ Member Interest Group Meetings (MIGs)–With more than 30 different MIGs, 

attending a MIG meeting is a wonderful way to connect with a much smaller group 

around professional and personal interests. 

In addition to being great learning opportunities, each of these offerings is sure to grow 

your professional network.

Students: The Need for International 

Students’ Charters 

Room 123 

International students studying abroad 

are affected by institutional budget cuts, 

stricter visa rules, and less hospitable 

attitudes. As institutions grapple with 

budget cuts, they increase recruitment 

drives to attract fee-paying international

assure students are properly supported 

during their time abroad becomes 

increasingly important. Learn about 

charters advocating for international 

students’ rights.

Employer Perspectives: How 

International Education Adds Value in 

the Global Workplace 

Room 132 

Globalization has expanded the rationale 

for international education and has led to 

a convergence of interests between 

academic institutions and employers. The 

result is a new narrative supporting 

realignment of international programs to 

strengthen student competencies and 

skills that clarify career decisionmaking 

and add value to the search for 

employment after graduation.

Ethical Challenges and Guidelines for 

Interning and Volunteering Abroad in 

Developing Nations 

Room 123 

The positive potential of international 

internships and volunteer placements, and

accompanied by significant ethical 

challenges. Placements in developing 

countries with entrenched value sets, 

cultural histories, and limited resources 

carry particular challenges for students 

engaged in work, internships, and 

volunteering abroad. Universities, 

mentors, and program providers will 

benefit from this discussion.

Involving Faculty in the Process of 

Assessing Students’ Intercultural 

Competence 

Room 242 

Assessment, teaching, and learning are at 

the heart of internationalization of the

faculty in the assessment of students’ 

intercultural competence. This session 

presents an assessment framework and two 

cases of engaging faculty in the intercultural 

competence assessment process.

Rethinking Curricular Practical Training 

(CPT) 

Room 130 

Confused about CPT? Ready to reexamine 

your institution’s approach? Are you 

grounded in the regulations or just doing 

what’s always been done? Is credit really 

required? Does a faculty member need to 

sign off on it? What does “integral part of 

an established curriculum” mean? This 

session explores CPT regulations and 

developing a CPT policy to fit your 

institution.

Unleashing the Power of Data to Drive 

International Enrollment Strategy 

Room 275 

As institutions seek to expand 

international enrollment management, 

data can be an ally. Yet many offices lack 

coherent data strategies. In this session,

sources such as market intelligence, digital 

media, and performance management 

metrics to drive an informed and costeffective 

international enrollment 

management strategy.
