Spring 2026 International Student Experience Workshop Series

The Office of International Affairs is once again hosting a three-part workshop series this autumn for faculty and staff who want to gain a deeper understanding of the international student experience.

The series is designed to educate participants about life as an international student and offer guidance on how to best work with this population. The workshops feature presentations from staff in the Office of International Affairs and other campus offices, along with a panel of international students who will share their perspectives and answer questions. 

Faculty and staff are encouraged to register for all three in-person workshops. Each workshop is offered twice, and participants only need to attend one session. Those who complete the series will receive a training certificate from the Office of International Affairs. Registration is free.
