International Student Insurance Presentations

As a NAFSA Global Partner, and members of various other organizations, we are often asked to present at conferences throughout the year. This is typically done with co-presenters from the world of international education, so that we are not only providing our expertise and insight from the insurance world - but also delivering real-world examples.
