Description

2025 AIRC Spring Symposium
An Event for Institutions, Agencies, and Service Providers

Join your colleagues at AIRC's 2025 Spring Symposium to explore how to address international admissions fraud in the era of AI. Attendees will hear from industry experts about documentation integrity, reliable credential evaluations, and academic and financial transparency in the international student admissions process. The hands-on workshops will explore case studies to identify best practices in applying AIRC's Standards to address international admissions fraud. Attendees will also understand how to identify and respond to fraud, discuss best practices for working with partners to mitigate concerns, and learn about new student behavior in the era of AI. 

This is a public event. We invite AIRC members, sponsors, and non-members to attend the Symposium and actively shape the future of the international enrollment management field.
