The Alliance Policy Monitor is a comprehensive compendium of news and issues affecting international exchange programs. It features authoritative, timely reporting on international exchange news and policy trends, including updates on Congressional legislation and appropriations, Department of State (Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs) and Exchange Visitor Program news and developments, and extensive, daily coverage of international exchange programs in the media.

Since the Alliance’s establishment in 1993, the Policy Monitor has evolved with the times. For several years it existed as a quarterly newsletter, printed and mailed to the Alliance membership. Soon the Policy Monitor went electronic, and items were circulated to the Alliance membership via email on a weekly, then daily, basis. Now the Policy Monitor exists as a robust online tool, complete with comprehensive archives, search features, and RSS feeds, an indispensable tool for anyone working with, or interested in, international exchange programs.

Many Policy Monitor items are open to the public at large for reading and research. Other entries, however, are reserved for Alliance members only—members will be prompted to login when attempting to access one of these items and should enter their personal user names and passwords to gain access.
