Being far from home is more than just missing where you came from. It can mean isolation, culture shock, financial stress, and trying to succeed in spaces that were not built with you in mind. We will talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. We’ll share stories, speak honestly about the challenges we face, and brainstorm resources. So join us for a safe and real conversation created for international students, scholars, and immigrants.
This dialogue is facilitated by Jarnekha Abdul Naser (student in Neuroscience) and Dr. Musa Yahaya, Teaching Faculty in Public Health. This event is part of At the Table, a Spring 2026 Dialogue Program intended to promote civil dialogue at 51ÁÔÆæ and sponsored by the Division of Community Empowerment & Institutional Inclusivity.
