On The Mark

Watch on Monday the 15th as the US State Department releases the new international student and scholar school year figures for 2010.  Since 9/11 the State Department has implemented a stringent recording system call Sevis.  Upon arrival from their homeland, each international student must register with their college or university.   The State Department is immediately notified by computer when a student registers on a campus.   Last year, 671,000 international students were registered on college campuses.  If the trend continues as the last few years, we will see a growth of around 5%.  Keep watch at Open Doors.
