Hamilton Conversations: What Is It Like to be an International Student Now? And How Can Alumni Help?

News stories skim the surface of what it’s like to be an international student now. We hear horror stories but know little about the day-to-day experiences of students from outside the U.S. who have made the Hill their academic home. Join Director of International Student Services Omobonike (Bonike) Odegbami, who will lead a presentation to help us all understand the ever-changing rules, laws, and news related to the international student experience on campus. How is the legal landscape changing? What is real life like in the midst of uncertainty like this? What resources are available to students? How can alumni or current parents support Bonike’s efforts and the students themselves?

This is the latest in a series of virtual conversations responding to the current political and social climate. In the spirit of Hamilton’s mission to know ourselves and foster lives of meaning, purpose, and active citizenship, we invite alumni to join us for this series of discussions about changes our country is experiencing and has faced over time. Our goal is to build a community, just as you did while on campus, around introspection, civil discourse, and shared pursuits as we ponder what motivates us to be active citizens now and in the future.
