The inclusion of faculty and staff in International Education Week is an important element of the program mission, says O\u2019Connor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is part of our efforts to help faculty understand the experience of international students,\u201d O\u2019Connor says, wanting staff to know that \u201cthere is something for them included in the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
