Though International education and exchanges have been impacted by the COVID-19 health pandemic, the U.S. Department of State and Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs remain committed to promoting the benefits of international education and exchanges and encouraging students to study abroad when it is safe again. Promoting educational exchange between nations is vital to our country’s economic competitiveness and national security, and is a strategic priority. U.S. communities and institutions gain intellectual and cross-cultural capital as well as business and professional networks from opportunities to exchange students, teachers, and scholars and from more internationalized classrooms and campuses. Join us in celebrating #IEW2020.
