U.S. Coalition leaders share why OPT matters and why bipartisan legislation is important

“The 50+ organizations represented in the U.S. for Success Coalition have a clear, on-the-ground understanding of the enormous value international students bring to Americans. Congress now has an opportunity to provide clarity and stability by codifying OPT and ensuring the United States remains the world’s leading destination for global talent.” - Jill Welch, Executive Director of the U.S. for Success Coalition

“English language programs are often the first step for international students pursuing U.S. degrees,” said Cheryl Delk-Le Good, CEO of EnglishUSA. These programs equip students with the language and academic skills needed to succeed. Protecting OPT helps sustain the full international education pathway that benefits U.S. institutions, communities, and employers.”
