| Abstract | In 2018, like in the past 17 years, the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education have designated one week in the fall "to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchanges worldwide." The author says we must ask which international education benefits we are celebrating. She states that the policies of this administration negate the value of engagement across cultural difference with an open mind and of wanting to understand other countries and cultures. Many people who oppose these policies highlight the harm done to the opportunities for international students or the economic costs to this country. What they tend to ignore are the benefits for U.S. students, indeed for all students, of international student diversity on their campus. Sustained interaction with students from other countries--in the classroom, in residence halls and community--opens minds, challenges all students to understand and empathize with individuals who are different from them and to learn to communicate across difference. This ability to engage effectively across difference is key for successful careers, citizenship and ultimately world peace. (ERIC). |
