Reviews & Statements

"This book is quite unusual and refreshing, in that more than half of the chapters are dedicated to exploring the experiences of international students or students studying at higher education institutes in countries that are not their nation of origin…This book adds new and exciting perspectives to the scholarship surrounding multicultural inclusion in higher education. Its focus on the multiculturalism of and support for international students, in particular, is unique and outstanding, because it is a part of diversity that can be overlooked by university officials."

– Prof. Sin Guanci, The Ohio State University, USA
