2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

Post-pandemic realities have reshaped how students evaluate study abroad options, with affordability, geopolitical tensions, and career outcomes now outweighing the traditional factor of prestige. This session explores how information gaps and digital decision-making tools influence student choices, particularly in relation to U.S. study. Using recent research, we will examine emerging mobility patterns and their implications for counselors and universities. The session offers evidence-based guidance for navigating this new recruitment landscape.
