In an effort to better understand and support their diverse student body, university officials recently organized a special meeting with international students. The session aimed to provide a platform for students to voice their concerns, share their experiences, and seek solutions to any challenges they face during their studies.
The meeting was attended by key university administrators, including the Vice-Chancellor for Education, the Director of IED, the Deputy of Educational Affairs of the School of Medicine, and staff members responsible for international student services. The international students representing different countries and academic disciplines participated actively in the open dialogue.
During the session, students raised a variety of issues, such as language barriers, difficulties in adapting to the new academic environment, housing concerns, and the need for educational matters. Many expressed appreciation for the university’s efforts but highlighted areas where improvements could be made to enhance their overall experience.
University officials listened attentively and responded with commitment to addressing the students' concerns. They outlined planned initiatives such as language support programs, improved orientation sessions, and expanded cultural activities to foster a more inclusive campus environment. The meeting concluded with a promise from the university to establish continuous channels of communication, including regular feedback sessions and dedicated support centers for international students. Both students and administrators agreed that ongoing collaboration would be essential to creating a more supportive and welcoming educational community.
This event exemplifies the university’s dedication to fostering an inclusive environment that values diversity and promotes the well-being of all its students. Such open dialogues are expected to play a vital role in strengthening the relationship between university staff and the international student community.
