The American International Recruitment Council (AIRC), which plans to roll out a Certification process for international student recruitment agencies in early 2010, announced at NAFSA that its membership had approved adoption of its Certification Standards and process.

  
Founding Chair and President, Mitch Leventhal stated, “This is the first time that American postsecondary institutions, or their international recruitment partners, have had consistent and clear guidelines for ethical and best practice. We at AIRC are convinced that through the AIRC Certification process, American institutions will be able to make major headway in their global recruiting in the years to come.”
