International Symposium (Pre-Conference) 

Saturday, March 7, 2:30-3:20 PM (CST)

Session Title: Advancing Equity in International Education: Improving global campus climate and challenging homogenous classifications.

Presenters: Anisha Gill-Morris and Yun-Han Weng 

Location:  KCCC 2207, Bartle Hall- Level 2

Abstract: Have you noticed that institutional surveys often use arbitrary - often binary - classifications for international students? Or that their worldview perspectives are not considered thoughtfully? Join us to learn about two research-based tools that address these issues: the Belonging, 

Acceptance, and Cultural Experience (BACE) Index and the Interfaith Spiritual Religious and Secular (INSPIRES) Campus Climate Index. By attending, you will receive guidance on how to implement the indexes to drive data-informed policy change and foster inclusive global campus climates.
