    Description

    Within the School of Engineering, 336 out of 587 graduate and law students are international, making up a significant portion of the student body. Unlike their domestic counterparts, who often transition from the university’s undergraduate programs, these students face unique challenges. While existing support systems, such as the graduate affairs committee, provide some assistance, significant barriers remain. Anecdotal complaints highlight a growing need for stronger support structures. This raises important questions: What strategies can be implemented to better support international graduate students? If resources already exist, what prevents students from utilizing them? By identifying and addressing these barriers, we can contribute to a better understanding of the experience of international graduate students at our university.
