Assistant Professors Present their Study of International Student Population on July 18

Please join Assistant Professors Melissa Burel, Lora Smallman and Marlee Graser to learn about their recent study on SIUE international students:

1 p.m.
Tuesday, July 18
Third Floor Conference Room
Lovejoy Library

In response to a growing international student population on campus, Burel and Sarah Park were awarded a CARLI grant to study the experiences of international students both on campus and in the library.

The study was conducted over the 2015-16 academic year utilizing a mixed-methods approach including a survey, interviews and photo diaries. Smallman, Graser and Lynn Fields joined the team in the summer of 2016 to analyze and interpret the data.

Burel, Smallman and Graser will travel to Atlanta in November to present on this project at the Southeastern Library Assessment Conference.
