Free Lecture -ÌýMyths and realities of the International Student Experience
Building on their session at the Staff and Advisor Conference, the presenters will speak to the complexities when thinking about the international student experience. Our international student population comes from over 100 different countries and brings with them unique experiences and perspectives that enrich our campus community and classroom environment.
During this session, we intend to address the following questions through enriched dialogue:
- Who are our international students? From visa status to language skills, what are the many nuances behind ‘international’?
- How do we learn from our diverse international population?
- What role does our campus community play in supporting international student success?
At the end of this session, participants will leave with an understanding of the varied international student experiences with the intention of supporting a culture of inclusivity, diversity, and acceptanceÌý
