New international faculty often face unique challenges in adapting to a different academic culture. This webinar, "Global Mentoring: Strategies for International Faculty Success," will take place on Thursday, April 11, 2024, from 1:30 – 3 p.m. (CDT) and serves as a resource to facilitate that adaptation.
