There are so many different paths for international education professionals that it can be difficult to pin down exactly where you should go or what you should do. NAFSA's Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship Knowledge Community (TLS KC) invites students and early career professionals (and international educators at all stages of their career) to join this live event to discuss options for getting involved, growing as a professional, expanding opportunities, and making meaningful connections with others in the field. Whether you are a student, within the first five years of your career, seasoned with years of experience, or anywhere in-between, the discussion and networking possibilities are endless.

This event is open to everyone—international education professionals, scholar-practitioners, and researchers at all career stages. Consider this a collaborative space to learn, connect, and grow.

Moderators:

  • Dilnoza Khasilova, director of the Adult Education Center at North Idaho College and current TLS KC Chair
  • Kate Hellmann, director of International Student and Scholar Services at Washington State University and current TLS KC Chair-elect

Any questions about this event can be submitted via the TLS KC Feedback Form.

This event will be recorded.
