Upcoming Staff Workshop:
Helping & Supporting International Students' Cultural Adjustment to UC Berkeley
Co-presented with Christine Zhou from Counseling & Psychological Services
Thursday, November 14, 9-10:30, I House
This workshop will introduce student development models to frame a conversation on cultural adjustment and
intercultural competency. Advisors will gain a deeper understanding of the international student experience
through a panel that features students at various stages of their journey. Through small group work and
activities, advisors will develop techniques that encourage students to reflect on and consider their personal
adjustment and how it impacts their academic, social and personal lives. Please RSVP at:
