International students are essential to the exchange of ideas and intercultural understanding
They are at the heart of so many technological advances, research innovations, and successful start-up companies in this country. Their economic contributions are tremendous.

.@FantaAwNAFSA responds to the Supreme Court's decision to keep Optional Practical Training intact. While this resolves a major area of uncertainty for #intlstudents, Congress must act to provide them a path to a green card. Our full statement: bit.ly/3PMZLrc #intled

The higher education experience should include fostering an appreciation for others' backgrounds, history, and culture. My bipartisan legislation encourages colleges and universities to expand study abroad programs to nontraditional locations for underserved students.
