Book Description
This book is designed to help foreign students from developing countries make the transition from academic training in the United States to a professional career in the home country. The process of professional integration includes both cultural reentry and professional dimensions of reentry. Attention is directed to specific skills and knowledge acquisition, as well as to an overall view of transition as a part of the educational continuum. Although the information is geared specifically to the needs of developing world students, it may also be of interest to the international educator. Chapter titles and authors are as follows: "Introduction" (Kevin J. Schieffer); "Alumni Networking" (Kenneth A. Rogers); "The Scientist or Scholar Interacts: Communication and Interpersonal Relations in the Developing Countries" (Michael J. Moravcsik); "The Professional Integration of Women" (Mary Joy Pigozzi, Patricia W. Barnes-McConnell, Sally K. Williams); "Research and Publication" (Motoko Y. Lee, D. Y. Lee); "Developing a Resource Library" (Harold Borko, Eileen Goldstein); "Continuing Education for the Returned Professional" (Stephen C. Dunnett); and "Conclusion" (Mary Ann G. Hood). (SW)

Book Description
The overall objective of Phase II was to conduct the national survey to assess the needs of foreign students from developing nations at U.S. colleges and universities and to compare importance and satisfaction of their needs by sponsorship categories (i.e. AID-sponsored vs. others) and other characteristics of students. A multi-stage cluster sample with probability proportionate to size was used to select schools and students in the nation, based on the sampling procedure determined in Phase I. Copies of the questionnaire developed in Phase I were mailed to students chosen in thirty universities. Nearly 1900 students responded to the questionnaire. In every category of needs, need were not satisfied to the level of students' expectations, even through most of the needs were satisfied to a certain degree rather than unsatisfied. Needs for practical experience (work experience and opportunities to apply knowledge), and anticipated post-return needs were among the least satisfied to the students' expectations and the most problematic ones for educational institutions to accommodate. Financial needs and pre-return informational needs were also least met to the students' expectations, however meeting these needs was less problematic.

International Students

Pages : 312
Book Description
International students are often taken for granted in higher education institutions in the United States. Many college and university administrators are unaware of the initiatives of other nations to attract international students and of the need to support these students. Higher education journals have not focused much attention on international students. International Students: Strengthening a Critical Resource argues that U.S. institutions of higher education must increase their awareness of international student issues. Andrade reviews related research and highlights creative solutions and programming for the successful support of international students. The book provides practical, hands-on, broadly applicable solutions to addressing international student issues. Additionally, it serves as a practical guide for identifying and adopting best practices for serving international students.
