One thing I was surprised about was that as the conference chair, I was asked to be in a lot of pictures with many delegations from outside the United States. It was a lot of fun and a great way to get to know people and hear about why they traveled. It was a great way to build relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, much of the event focused on NAFSA\u2019s milestone anniversary and how the world continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic through issues such as international student recruitment, VISA accessibility, and the funding available for first-generation students who want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/study-abroad\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/k-plan\/study-abroad\/\">study abroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was a lot of discussion about the kinds of advocacy work we can do at the national and state levels to help decision makers and institutions understand the impact that funding international education initiatives can have beyond our campuses,\u201d Wiedenhoeft said. \u201cWe also discussed the political climate, especially with certain states censoring <a>DEI<\/a> (diversity, equity and inclusion) initiatives and censuring students that come from certain countries, so we can be ready to respond and advocate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/12\/NAFSA-conference-600x800.png\" alt=\"Kalamazoo College Center for International Programs Executive Director Margaret Wiedenhoeft meets Indiana University's Jenny Bowen at international education conference\" class=\"wp-image-21458\" style=\"width:352px;height:469px\" width=\"352\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/12\/NAFSA-conference-600x800.png 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/12\/NAFSA-conference-300x400.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/12\/NAFSA-conference-113x150.png 113w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/12\/NAFSA-conference.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kalamazoo College Center for International Programs Executive Director Margaret Wiedenhoeft (left) meets Indiana University&#8217;s Jenny Bowen at the NAFSA: Association of International Educators Conference and Expo in Washington, D.C.

Bowen will serve in the same role in 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate opportunity, Wiedenhoeft also presented at a Michigan Independent Colleges and Universities (MICU) conference in October to address how institutions think about security for students when they travel off campus, particularly to environments or places not geographically connected to it. The gathering wasn\u2019t only for international educators, but for all educators to think about safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a great conversation,\u201d she said. \u201cIt reminded me that there are resources on our own campus and folks who think about student safety all the time with safety being a goal for all of us. I&#8217;m always happy to share what <a>I&#8217;ve<\/a> learned and to contextualize it for folks who may be thinking about starting programs or thinking about particular risks that they&#8217;re concerned about in certain places. I always say the riskiest place is ignorance, so it\u2019s important to help folks know what they need to understand about where students go to live and study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiedenhoeft began working for K in 2000 and has served as the CIP\u2019s executive director since 2017. In that department, she structures and oversees its operations, policies and practices including study abroad, domestic study away and international student support while collaborating with partners overseas, students, and faculty to ensure programs are financially accessible, sustainable, and connected to life and study at K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She applauds K administrators, students, faculty and staff for making that work possible as the College has become a standard bearer for study abroad, international education and international programs. K offers 53 study abroad opportunities that vary from one to three terms in 33 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could not do this work without the support of the Provost and President, and from my wonderful colleagues in the CIP\u2014Sally, Asia, Alayna, Abosede, NaShera, Colin and Lizbeth,\u201d Wiedenhoeft said. \u201cI will show up anywhere and everywhere to promote Kalamazoo College.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An association dedicated to international education named Center for International Programs Executive Director Margaret Wiedenhoeft its 2023 conference chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":21465,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[233,3],"tags":[192,47],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-21457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty-staff","category-news","tag-international-programs","tag-study-abroad"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
