Community Mentors
NAFSAns tend to be a lovely and
collegial bunch, but this year a number
of volunteers have stepped forward to
act more overtly as mentors to the
participants in the Case Study
Conundrum and generally to
newcomers in the field. These
volunteers can be identified by a
MENTOR ribbon and will be
introduced at the receptions mentioned
above.
Academy for
International Education
Is the Academy right for you?
The regional conference is an
excellent way for you to learn
more about this year-long
professional development
opportunity: meet the coach and
past Academy trainees, and find
out more about the benefits of
joining a cohort. Applications for
the next cycle are due in
December, so come ready to find
out more!
Poster Fair
The 2nd annual Regional
Poster Fair will be held on
Monday, October 15th
during one of the coffee
breaks from 10:00 AM –
11:00 AM. This is a great
opportunity to learn from
and share ideas with
colleagues from around
the region.
State Breakfasts
The State Breakfasts will
all be held on Monday
morning. We hope to see
you there to learn more
about what is going on
locally.
