Enhancing Holistic Student Development
In an increasingly globalized education landscape, the success and well-being of international students are paramount. This presentation introduces a collaborative advising approach that prioritizes the student's perspective, aiming to understand and address their unique challenges. By fostering a network of support that integrates International Student Services, Academic Advising, and Career Services, we propose a model that not only addresses academic and career needs but also cultural and personal development. Through discussions, student voices, and an exploration of collaborative practices, we seek to identify effective strategies and necessary support systems for implementing this holistic approach. Join us in championing the development of international students through a collaborative and student-centered advising framework.
