"This is a seminal book for anyone needing a holistic, comprehensive, and integrative approach to how best to create and sustain structures, systems and culture for supporting international student success on campuses and beyond. It is the first and only book of its kind that pairs scholars and practitioners in conversations with each other to ensure readers get the full benefits of theory and practice. The book is simply groundbreaking." -Fanta Aw, CEO and Executive Director, NAFSA: Association of International Educators "International student enrollment is back to pre-pandemic levels providing important opportunities to commit to student success for these students. This book comes as a timely and vital resource for colleges and universities serving the almost 1 million international students enrolled in the U.S." -Kevin Kruger, President, NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education This book explores the integral role that student affairs professionals play in the success of international students at higher education institutions in the US. International student support has often been thought of as the principal responsibility of international student services offices, but research suggests that international student engagement in the broader university community, and support for them by all student affairs and services offices on campus, is closely tied to persistence and retention. The authors explore a student development theory-based approach to supporting the experience and success of international students from all facets of student affairs and services. The book explores practical and strategic implications of a more integrative approach to international student support both inside and outside of the classroom, while also utilizing a critical lens in applying models that were originally built for predominantly white institutions and US citizens.
