The transition to becoming a graduate student is often challenging due to expectations being widely different than those during undergraduate education. This transition is even more pronounced for graduate students that are also acclimating to a new culture and having to learn about the ways that our academic expectations are different from those of their home country. In this workshop sponsored by ISSO and the CTT, a panel of international graduate students and faculty who have experience advising international students will discuss some of the biggest challenges that international graduate students face as well as what kinds of advising support would be most useful in helping them succeed.
