Workshops offered to help faculty, staff support needs of international students

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is proud to welcome over 1,500 international students from more than 130 countries, each bringing unique perspectives that enrich our campus community. These students face distinct challenges as they adapt to the U.S. academic environment, and it is vital for instructors to understand how best to support their success in the classroom.

To facilitate this, the International Student and Scholar Office (ISSO) and the Center for Transformative Teaching (CTT) have been delivering collaborative workshops since Spring 2023 that bring together faculty and staff on campus that support our international students.

In 2025 we will continue this series by hosting a series of four panels throughout the spring semester. Each panel discussion will provide valuable insights from both international students and instructors, offering strategies to enhance the academic experience for all.
