I receive many, many Google Alerts for a variety of search terms related to international educational exchange and it is really great to read all of the news articles (in the international, national & local press) and press releases related to International Education Week, the Open Doors 2009 report and NAFSA’s Economic Impact Statements. I enjoy reading college and university student papers and institutional press releases that highlight the number of international students on their respective campuses and the number of their students that study abroad as well as how they rank in the Open Doors report. Additionally, I liked seeing that the U.S. Department of State issued press releases on the release of Open Doors 2009 (although I was hoping for more of a statement from them). Here are is the link to the two U.S. Department of State press releases on Open Doors data:
-11/16/09 International Students Come to United States in Record Numbers, 16% Increase in New Foreign Student Enrollments is Largest Since 1980; Office of the Spokesman; Washington, DC
-11/16/09 Numbers of Americans Studying Abroad Up 8.5%, China, India, Japan, South Africa, and Argentina See Strong Gains as Destinations; Office of the Spokesman; Washington, DC
Also, does anyone know if (and where) there is a transcript of Judith A. McHale’s, Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, briefing on the launch and observance of International Week yesterday at the National Press Club in Washington, DC?
