International Students: Help Them Overcome Current Barriers to Persist – February 4, 2021
|
| Date & Time |
| Thursday, February 4, 2021 • 2:00 – 3:30 pm ET |
| Overview |
| Although all students have been impacted by COVID-19, the American College Health Association has singled out international students as one of the most vulnerable student populations. They have felt increased levels of fear, anxiety, financial repercussions, and immigration stresses these past several months. Additionally, their mental health and wellbeing have been taxed, as they have juggled all of this while operating largely in isolation from family and friends.
What can you do to mitigate some of the challenges and co-occurring traumatic events international students are experiencing to help them thrive and persist on your campus?
Join us on Thursday, February 4, 2021 for an interactive webinar where our expert presenter will address the challenges your international students are currently facing and the resources you can provide to help them succeed.
Registration: $399*
*You can have your team participate remotely for this price. After you place your order, you will receive instructions for additional log ins for your remote team members. In addition, 24 hours following the live webinar we will email you a digital link and instructions to access the on-demand recording and materials that you may share with any staff members that were unable to attend the live event. Feel free to email us with any questions at info@paper-clip.com.
