ICEF Podcast: The outlook for international education in the USA – live from NAFSA

Listen in as ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen recap some recent industry news, including an agent survey that indicates students are looking at a wider field of study destinations this year and the latest on post-study work rights in the UK.

This month's episode features three conversations – recorded live at the annual NAFSA conference in New Orleans – that explore the future of international student mobility in the US. Our featured guests are Jessica Sandberg, the Dean of International Enrollment at Duke Kunshan University; Mirka Martel, Head of Research, Evaluation and Learning at the Institute of International Education; and Amber McKenzie, the Assistant Dean of Global Education and Strategic Partnerships with Community Colleges of Spokane.

We conclude with a closer look at Mexico as the latest stop for our “Keys to the Market” segment.
