Keeping up with the pace of federal administration change is a challenge. Bookmark these sites from NAFSA and TESOL to keep up with the impact of these changes on international education and English language learning.

This NAFSA page will link to executive actions by the President and administrative actions by federal agencies that relate to international education.
