As the number of international students entering colleges and universities across the US and Canada has increased, welcoming and orienting students to college life in North America has become a priority for higher ed administrators. One of the primary challenges facing administrators charged with developing orientation and welcome programs for international students is connecting with students before they arrive on campus. Strategically crafting clear pre-arrival communications to connect with and engage millennial undergraduate students and busy graduate students is not easy for many offices.

Join us for a program that will explore several best practices for connecting with international students before they arrive on campus, including how and when to connect, pre-arrival orientation homework for international students, simple website enhancement, sample print pieces, pre-arrival student newsletters, and low-budget options to help guide students through their first days on campus.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This event is ideal for directors, assistant directors, associate directors and coordinators of international student services and orientation, and any other individuals responsible for coordinating the details of international student orientation and welcome procedures. This content may also appeal to first-year student experience offices, graduate student services offices, and senior student affairs administrators who are experiencing expanding international student populations.
