[nabs-l] international students

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi all,

This is definitely dialog which should happen.  I think that domestic
students also have a lot to learn from international students, and we
could all benefit from more open communication.

So, do tell us what you think we could do to help, but also remember
to speak up.  I was totally unaware of the lack of accommodations
available to students who are not U.S citizens until very recently,
and I doubt I'm the only one who isn't very knowledgeable on this.  If
you have ideas based on what you did for accommodations in your home
country that you think could help students in the U.S, share those
too.

I think If we're all open and provide helpful suggestions, everyone
will benefit.
