The International Center, in collaboration with the Spectrum Center, CGIS, and MESA, are putting on this student panel highlighting the experiences of queer students abroad.

March 20, 2018 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm

This workshop will be facilitated by experts from the International Center. It is designed to increase awareness, knowledge, and critical skills related to international student support at the School of Social Work. The topics of this workshop include 1) current immigration environment faced by international students, 2) cross-cultural matters regarding language and learning styles, and 3) ways to enhance academic success among international students. We will examine immigration laws and current political climate, address issues of concern to vulnerability and invisibility, and discuss practical teaching approaches in increasingly multi-cultural settings. In addition, results of an international student survey will be presented along with student speak-outs.

1.5 Macro CEU hours are offered.

This workshop is a collaborative effort between the U-M International Center and the School of Social Work's Office of Global Activities, the Associated Dean for Educational Programs, and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office.
