Supporting Students’ Resiliency and Wellness in a Post-COVID Landscape

Wednesday, May 4, 2022

10:00 AM – 10:50 AM MDT

Experts from various corners of international education—education abroad; international student and scholar services; and diversity, equity, and inclusion—answer the questions, “What lessons have international educators learned during the COVID-19 pandemic in regard to student resiliency and wellness, and what policies or practices implemented during the pandemic will stick around long-term?”

Learning Objectives:

Describe diverse approaches to supporting student wellness and resiliency during the pandemic.
Translate these approaches into policies and practices that can be introduced at the organizational/institutional level to holistically support students during the pandemic and postpandemic.
Improve student support in the field of international education as a whole by considering, understanding, and respecting mental health and other challenges students may be facing due to the pandemic.
