  • Connecting people to change the world

    Dr Brimmer, who is Chief Executive, NAFSA Association of International Educators, also highlighted the strong partnership between NAFSA and New Zealand as being a great way to foster support for international education.

    “Our academic ties enable us to build civil societies. International educators, including generations of NAFSANS, are part of this legacy.

    "So it is even more important that we maintain academic ties and collaborations at a time when international education is affected by global trends that have seen a dangerous rise in protectionism and a nationalist rhetoric.

    “We must acknowledge the challenges of the present, retreat is not the answer. Barriers alone will not protect us, we are part of the solution, part of a globally interconnected economy,” Dr Brimmer said.

    NAFSA has been working to ensure US campuses are welcoming for international students, especially after executive orders that instated travel bans against specific countries from travelling to the US.

    Dr Brimmer said the orders caused a great deal of uncertainty and NAFSA joined the community in opposing these orders.

    NAFSA has also been involved in a range of initiatives such as the #youarewelcomehere campaign on US university campuses and a special welcoming week in September to make international students feel welcome and safe.

    Dr Brimmer noted that both the US and New Zealand are countries that value equality, inclusion and opportunity and have a long history of shared interests and collaborations. She said fear should not stop us from pursuing these ideals.

    “NAFSA is committed to building bridges, not walls. I am confident that we will succeed in building a more global, internationally engaged global community,” Dr Brimmer said.

  • NauMai NZ has a brand-new look 

    We are excited to share that NauMai NZ, ENZ’s student experience digital platform, has undergone a refresh and has a new look and feel, bringing it in line with the wider ENZ brand family. Check out its new look here.

    NauMai NZ provides clear, timely information and advice about the things that international students want and need to know - arriving in New Zealand, study and education, health and wellbeing, New Zealand and Māori culture, exploring New Zealand, making friends, safety, money, work, and much more. It links to expert resources where appropriate and is designed to complement information provided by education providers. 

    NauMai NZ was launched four years ago and since then has had one million page views.  

    Student Experience Manager, Ross Crosson says the aims and objectives of NauMai NZ have not changed.  

    “NauMai NZ is still about providing trusted, accurate information to support student wellbeing, bridge the gap between expectation and reality, enable social connection, and improve student experience outcomes. The revamp is about being responsive to the needs of a wider range of students who are studying with New Zealand, not just in New Zealand” he adds. 

    Alongside the new look, new content has been added including, 

    • Life on campus (orientation, clubs, student associations)​ 
    • How to maximise your experience (goal setting and support options)​ 
    • Road safety​ 
    • Outdoor safety (including water safety, hiking and tramping, hunting/mahika kai)​ 
    • Online study for offshore students​ 
    • Global Pathways 

    “Just as we have over the past four years, we will continue to add new content to NauMai NZ to meet student need and expectation. The site is always evolving and feedback is welcome” Ross says.   

    Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Ross, ross.crosson@enz.govt.nz.

  • Thai study abroad expo a great opportunity

    For the past 15 years, the Thai International Educational Consultants Association (TIECA) has organised the annual fair. TIECA is Thailand’s peak body of educational consultants, with more than 70 members actively working in the education area.

    The 2017 expo will largely focus on the school sector, but will also include language schools, high schools and universities, with participants from educational institutions from around the world.

    Jaruwan Pongjaruwat, ENZ Programme Manager – Thailand, said last year’s fair was very impressive, with more than 900 visitors attending. 

    “Last year, 12 New Zealand providers joined the fair, and it would be great to have even more this year. It’s a great opportunity for providers to interact with Thai students and agents face-to-face.”

    At the fair, institutions have the chance to meet TIECA agent members during a networking event and discuss possibilities of collaborating together in future. There will also be education system seminars throughout the expo to raise awareness of institutions and increase student enrolment.

    New Zealand institutions interested in joining in the event must download and complete an application form from Booth Booking Form and submit to manager@tieca.com
