ITD Workshops
Managing Cultural Diversity
Understanding and Accommodating International Students
More Details
Today, increasing numbers of international students are attending U.S. colleges. As temporary sojourners in a foreign environment, international students experience psychological stress in adapting to different academic systems and cultures. Studies show that administrators, staff members, and course instructors play key roles in promoting international students’ academic and social success. In this workshop, we will discuss the cultural differences among international students and the ways that faculty, administrators, and staff effectively communicate with them cross-culturally.
