Crossing multiple boundaries: International students’ integration experiences in graduate geography programs 

 

Organized by: 

 

Niem Tu Huynh (Texas State University-San Marcos) 

Wen Lin (University of Wisconsin– La Crosse) 

 

A growing population of international students is pursuing their graduate degree(s) in geography outside their home countries. This panel is intended to provide an open discussion on some challenges and opportunities encountered by international students, both in their academic and social life within a range of geographical and institutional contexts. A panel composed of international students will discuss the following questions: 

1. What are the needs and concerns of international students? 

2. What are some potential solutions and strategies to satisfy these needs?  

3. What support systems exist on campus and in the broader community?  

 

It is hoped that this discussion inspires further discourse, plans, and action to support international students studying in the U.S.A.
