Target Audience Campus-wide Speakers: Nooshin KianvashRad, Samuel Adegoke, Deborah Andoh (Graduate Students) Noah Pernetun, Fatima Elhorry (Undergraduate Students)


This interactive panel brings together 3-4 international students from diverse backgrounds to share authentic perspectives on the international student experience at UNCG. Through personal narratives, our panelists will explore the multifaceted journey of studying abroad, highlighting both the challenges and triumphs that shape their academic and personal growth. The discussion will address key stressors commonly faced by international students, including cultural adaptation, academic transitions, financial pressures, language barriers, and social integration. Equally important, panelists will celebrate their achievements, resilience, and the unique perspectives they bring to the UNCG community. A central focus will be building upon existing support systems and exploring innovative opportunities to further enrich the international student experience. Panelists will share insights about resources that could amplify student success, highlight support networks that have been transformative in their journeys, and strategies that helped them thrive. This session aims to foster greater understanding between international students and faculty/staff while building bridges for more effective support. The interactive format will include dedicated time for Q&A, encouraging direct dialogue about how the UNCG community can continue to serve its international student population and create more inclusive environments for global learners. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the international student perspective and practical strategies for supporting global students in their academic journey and beyond.
