On November 14, the Institute of International Education (IIE) together with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs released the latest news on international students in the United States and U.S. students studying abroad.

The Open Doors findings were the topic of a briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, with Assistant Secretary of State (R) Ann Stock and IIE President Allan Goodman, in conjunction with the worldwide observance of International Education Week.

In a special video address, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called international education a "growth industry" and commented on the importance of international education and exchange. "Study abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences in a young person's life. International students enrich classrooms and communities with their ideas, perspectives, and cultures. And when they return home, they bring new knowledge, new perspectives, and a deeper understanding of the world."
