Webinar Series

Our webinar series on international students features conversations among scholars, academic service professionals, and  for us, we discuss, share ideas, and learn about how colleges and universities currently support international and study abroad students, how they could promote best practices from their institutions and experiences, and what professional development opportunities they could create for themselves by having ongoing conversations.
