<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The NAFSA’s 2018 Advocacy Day is an opportunity to speak out for students, scholars, and policies that matter to international higher education. NAFSA advocates
for policies that foster the exchange of ideas, create a commonsense immigration process, support the evolution and improvement of democratic institutions, and encourage enlightened global engagement. At NAFSA's 2018 Advocacy Day, after a day of training and
strategizing, we will head to Capitol Hill with all the tools needed to educate Congress on how international education impacts Ohio, and District 15 and why we need a more globally engaged and welcoming United States. NAFSA will also be scheduling personal
meetings for us with Ohio’s elected officials and their staff in both the Senate and House of Representatives.

and Ohio and ultimately helped create American jobs. These stories will help staffers and members of Congress make a connection with the issues for which we are advocating.
