International Student Advisory Council to Improve Engagement & Advocacy
The Office of International Student Services (ISS) in the Center for International Affairs is creating an International Student Advisory Council (ISAC) to give the university’s international students a new, direct channel to share their thoughts, concerns and experiences.
The goal of the ISAC is to improve support for and engagement with international students at Case Western Reserve University to enhance their experience and give them a stronger voice on campus.
The council will include 10-12 undergraduate and graduate student representatives who will work on projects within ISS to hone their leadership skills and engage with the campus community to increase outreach and advocacy. Members will serve for a year-long term from July 2021 through June 2022.
In order for the ISAC to be truly representative of the international student body, ISS will select a minimum of one member per school (this includes a minimum of one member to represent the Health Education Campus) from the applicant pool and would like to have members from as many of the various nationalities on campus as possible.
ISS encourages faculty and staff to nominate international students to serve on the inaugural ISAC. Nominations are due by the end of the day on Friday, May 7. Self-nominations from international students are also accepted (self nominees will be required to submit a recommendation from a Case Western Reserve student, staff or faculty member by May 14). For more information and to access the nomination form, visit the ISAC website.
Support for the Asian Community
The increasing frequency of violent attacks against Asian people in the United States, including members of the Case Western Reserve community, cannot be tolerated. The Center for International Affairs joins departments and offices across campus that have come together in support of the Asian community. We have released a joint statement to denounce these racist incidents and let our Asian students, faculty, staff and alumni know they are integral, valued members of our university family. You can read the joint statement here.
May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month in the U.S. and the Center is working with campus partners to plan events and opportunities for the Case Western Reserve community to celebrate, learn and offer support. Details will be included in the next newsletter.
