LAI:S&R was established to encourage the common interests
of International Educators at Small, Residential, Liberal Arts colleges
within the NAFSA framework. Our goals include:
- To facilitate communication among members via a listserv, including
general networking and coordination of gatherings of our members at the
annual NAFSA conference and/or other venues;
- To assure that topics of interest to small, residential liberal
arts colleges are included and to promote the liberal arts perspective
on higher education at NAFSA conferences;
- To educate outside constituents about our unique mission
and services;
- To share data from our members that would help us advocate
for the liberal arts and to inform our decision-making.
