The Class of 2017 will arrive on campus in August, and 135-150 new international students will be a part of it. While some have studied in the U.S. education system, many have not.
To help better accommodate these students, the Center for International Affairs will sponsor NAFSA’s 2013 Online Conference, “Today’s Chinese Student” July 9-12.
The conference will focus on three themes as they relate to Chinese undergraduates—recruiting, social integration and academic considerations—and feature both live webinar presentations and speaker chats.
All faculty and staff are encouraged to attend these webinars, which will be streamed in the Tomlinson Hall conference room.
