International Education’s Duty of Care: Supporting and Retaining International Students in Times of Uncertainty

As international students navigate life far from home, institutions must go beyond academics to ensure they are supported, connected, and valued during these vexing times. Join us for a timely and practical webinar exploring how universities and colleges are stepping up to meet their duty of care through intentional strategies that promote student success and retention.

We will dive into how institutions are addressing critical areas such as course enrollment, housing continuity, access to student services, and inclusive programming. We'll showcase successful tactics, highlight innovative approaches, and provide a space for international educators to exchange insights.

What You’ll Learn:

• Proven strategies to support international students during academic breaks
• Creative programming ideas that foster belonging and engagement
• Key housing and service considerations for summer retention
• The role of cross-campus collaboration in delivering holistic support
• How institutions are adapting to changing student expectations and needs

We highly encourage ISSS and IEM teams to view this webinar together with their campus partners from academic affairs, the dean of students, residence life, and others who may benefit from a whole of campus approach.

This is a member only event. The webinar will be recorded and the recording made available to members soon after the event.
