NAFSA Association of International Educators 2026...what a week. 🌍
From the Expo floor to the sessions, the energy in Orlando was undeniable. So many great conversations, the kind that remind you why this work matters. It's something special to be in rooms filled with people who care this deeply and bring this much expertise to the table. We're grateful for every conversation, every shared idea, every moment of connection.

A few highlights we're still thinking about:
🎉 Sponsoring the Poster Fair- Giving space for new ideas and new voices to present their work? That's exactly where we want to be. The creativity and passion on display was inspiring.
🤝 U.S. for Success Meeting- A standout moment for us. The dedication and depth of knowledge in that room was truly something.
🌈 Sponsoring the Rainbow SIG & the New ISSS Scholarship- Proud to support this community and help make the new scholarship a reality. Representation and access matter, and we love seeing this field champion both.
🎩 Our booth- The hat … IYKYK 😉 big thanks to the Freeman Company for pulling it off!

Grateful to everyone who made this conference what it was. Until next time, keep building, keep pushing, keep showing up for each other.

We are proud to sponsor the Rainbow SIG this year as we head to Orlando for the NAFSA Association of International Educators Conference! 🌈✈️

Our donation is going directly toward the development of their new International Student Scholarship Initiative, designed to support LGBTQIA+ international students. We're honored to help create safer, more inclusive pathways for students from around the world. 🌍🏳‍🌈

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Rainbow Reception on May 27th!
