Supporting International Students: What Can Faculty Do?
Fall 2022
More Details
MTSU alumni live in 123 countries, and MTSU currently hosts international students from 62 countries (MTSU International Recruitment Brochure 2022). How can you ensure an education that is equitable, inclusive, engaging, and accommodating for such a diverse community of international students?
The goal of this workshop is to consider the challenges that international students face and discuss the best ways to facilitate this impressively diverse community of international students. This workshop will enable MTSU faculty members to predict and address international students’ linguistic, cultural, academic, social, and demographic challenges, and will equip the faculty with cultural and pedagogical tools to help the students navigate these challenges to make their academic experience enriching, equitable, and memorable.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
