Working without wages

·

Two creams, one sugar, all business clothes, and no paycheck. Who even knew it got lower than minimum wage? Kira Geairn, a junior policy analysis major, found out for herself this summer when she interned in Washington D.C. as part of the Washington Leadership Program.

Creating a real culture of care

·

We preach in newspapers and on blogs about maintaining mental health, urging people to get the help they need. But the first step to getting any kind of help is admitting something is wrong.

Don't worry, I'm doing it ironically

·

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary — which I used online, of course, I wouldn’t use a real dictionary unless I was doing it ironically — irony is “the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning.”


Bridging the gap

·

When students come to IU from around the world, they encounter a clash of cultures. Communication can be a daily struggle, and it takes effort to understand American customs. Yet despite the challenges, many students strive to build community far from home.


Introduction

About the series

Are IU policies and resources accommodating the growing demographic of international students on the Bloomington campus?

·

Is 'proficient' good enough?

·

More than 75 percent of international students at IU come from non-English speaking countries. Despite being told they're proficient by official University tests, some are still not prepared to learn in English when they arrive on campus.

Increasingly international

·

Expanding diversity is the driving force behind international recruiting at IU. It's a balancing act between what is ideal what is fiscally possible. With finite resources, the University has moved away from personalized care for international students and toward a numbers race.
