Are you an international graduate student interested in sharing your experiences with the International Student Advocacy Project? If so, here’s the link to the International Students’ Experience Survey.
Further information from the survey:
“International graduate students, compared to their domestic counterparts, experience multiple additional barriers to success that cut or significantly limit their access to vital resources for academic and professional development and/or mental and physical health. The aggregate impact of the current pandemic, the unpromising job market, and other related crises have further complicated the already precarious lives of international graduate students.
“The purpose of this survey is to identify and raise awareness about the disparities between international graduate students’ experiences and domestic graduate students’ experiences. We hope to identify key issues, concerning international graduate students, that we can put at the forefront of our future advocacy efforts. Our objective is to shed light on the nearly invisible inequities that, even in our current “woke” political climate, are often overlooked in higher education institutions.

The International Student Advocacy Project is led by international graduate students pursuing PhDs in the humanities.
