Dear colleagues,
The Forum on Education Abroad wants to draw your attention to the following critical updates that are having a major impact on the education abroad community: The U.S. Department of State Issues 15-Day Pause on All Current and Future Grant Disbursements On January 20, 2025, the White House issued Executive Order "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government."
Under this executive order, U.S. passports and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBAs) will no longer be issued with an X gender marker. Passports will only be issued with an M or F marker, reflecting the applicant’s biological sex at birth. The Forum on Education Abroad hosted its fifth Regional Seminar, Cultivating Connection: Encouraging Deeper Student Engagement in Popular Education Abroad Destinations, on January 31, 2025, in Barcelona. The event convened more than 70 international education professionals to explore strategies for fostering meaningful student engagement in Europe’s most popular study abroad destinations. Hosted at the CEA CAPA Barcelona Study Center, the seminar tackled challenges like high student volumes, linguistic diversity, and tourism pressures alongside shifting priorities in higher education.
