As increasing numbers of international students seek educational experiences at BC colleges and universities, faculty are realizing the value of connecting across institutions to share experiences/best practices relating to: teaching and supporting international students, and fostering an environment that positively supports diversity and inclusion across all dimensions. In this session we will discuss existing initiatives within our respective colleges/university, and the steps we are taking to create networks across institutions. Common challenges will be discussed along with faculty-led initiatives being implemented to turn challenges into opportunities for initiating intentional practices that engage everyone in true and meaningful dialogue.
