Completed: Addressing challenges faced by immigrants
International students and employees in the IU community face many unique challenges, from navigating policies and procedures that their management may struggle to understand, to enduring career suppression because of fear that they may not remain with the university.
The ITLC D&I action team worked with the IU community to identify these challenges. In response to what we heard, we made recommendations for improvements in the international staff experience and career paths, created training material for supervisors, and provided resources to support international staff and their supervisors.
As part of this initiative, Megha Ramawat and Kris Yang presented a breakout session at Statewide IT 2024 and a webinar in October 2024. Keep an eye on the ITLC events page for future sessions.
