International Education at Crossroads

03:00PM - 04:15PM

International education has long been central to the mission of American University. Welcoming students from around the world to the U.S. and allowing U.S. students to experience other cultures and educational systems through abroad opportunities have strengthened educational experiences and opened minds and hearts to help build a more peaceful world. At the same time, international students in 2018 alone contributed $45 billion to the U.S. economy and have long helped the United States attract talent from all over the world leading to innovation and jobs. Today, international education is under strain that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. Challenges include costs, increasing competition from universities worldwide, and evolving immigration rules. Join distinguished panelists with decades of experience in international education discuss the past, present and future of international education in the United States.


Panelists include: Dr. Fanta Aw, Vice President of Campus Life & Inclusive Excellence at American University; Senem Bakar, Director of International Student & Scholars Services at American University; Esther  Benjamin, CEO & Executive Director of World Education Services; Dr. Allan Goodman, President of the Institute of International Education; and will be moderated by Professor Padideh Ala’i, Director of International and Comparative Legal Studies at American University Washington College of Law.

Virtual Writing Sample Workshop

Virtual Writing Sample Workshop 

November 17, 2020 at 5:00 pm 

Ever wanted to get all those writing sample questions answered quickly and efficiently? Then, have we got the workshop for you!

Professors Ridenour and Spratt, along with the Office of Career and Professional Development, will be presenting two optional Writing Sample Workshops. During these workshops, we will talk about what to include in a writing sample, what employers prefer as a writing sample, how to edit a writing sample to meet page limits, and anything else you want to discuss about writing samples!

The workshops will likely only last for 40 minutes. We know there is a lot going on this semester, but they are worth your time and the information we provide will make the writing sample process more efficient and effective!
