UNL has over 1,500 international students from over 130 different countries who enrich our campus community in a variety of ways. They bring a unique set of circumstances and experiences that can influence how they learn in the classroom. How can instructors best utilize the strengths of international students and help them to be as successful in the classroom as possible?
The International Student and Scholar Office and the Center for Transformative Teaching will host a series of virtual workshops designed to help instructors best support the learning and academic success of international students.
