At the 2023 Annual NAFSA Conference & Expo in Washington, D.C., Lisa A. Maroni received the award for Outstanding Contributions to International Enrollment Management (IEM). NAFSA, the Association of International Education, is the world’s largest and most diverse nonprofit association dedicated to international education and exchange. The Annual Award for Outstanding Contributions to International Enrollment Management honors a NAFSA member who has made exemplary contributions to the field of IEM for at least 10 years.

Lisa is currently the Senior Associate Director of International Outreach at Shoreline Community College. She will soon be moving to Nairobi, Kenya, to work for the Institute of International Education as the EducationUSA Regional Educational Advising Coordinator (REAC) for East and Southern Africa. This U.S. Department of State network of over 425 international student-advising centers in more than 175 countries is the official source that promotes U.S. higher education to students around the world and provides services to help the U.S. higher education community meet recruitment and campus internationalization goals. Lisa is excited to continue the work of broadly promoting international education while supporting a network of 30 advising centers across a 25-country portfolio. Lisa will be missed by all of us at Shoreline, but please join us in congratulating her on her distinguished award and prestigious new role!
