Florida State University’s Center for Global Engagement’s Engage Your World Intercultural Dialogue Series will host Steve Springer, NAFSA: Association of International Educators Director of Regulatory Practice Liaison, on Tuesday, November 17, at 5 p.m. on Zoom. Register for the zoom link: bit.ly/eyw-springer.
Springer will provide a description of key regulatory and policy changes implemented by the Trump administration and their impact on international student programs.
New restrictions, fees, and burdensome agency processes, along with rhetoric from the administration, suggest to many current and prospective international students that they are not welcome here. These new disincentives to study here indicate the U.S. is losing its place as the top destination for international students, and we risk losing the economic, social, and cultural value they bring to our campuses and communities.
In his role, Springer manages NAFSA’s engagement with federal agencies concerning regulatory practice issues, among other duties. Prior to joining the NAFSA staff, he worked as an immigration attorney, representing higher education institutions and their faculty, staff, and students; and he worked in-house managing immigration services for several major research universities. He is active in the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Poland.
