International Students Grade Lyndon

Lyndon State College international students have been invited to critique their experiences here at Lyndon, and will be doing so today at 3:00 in the Rita Bole Community Room.

LSC has about a dozen international students and a handful of them will be partaking in this panel to describe their own experiences here at Lyndon regarding what has worked or hasn't for them as individuals.

"We do something like this about once a year, under the heading, Learning from our Students," stated Donna Dalton, dean of academic and student affairs. "The reason for doing so is to see what's worked, what hasn't worked and where we can do better."

This panel allows for the improvement in the atmosphere for students who are in a foreign environment.

Last year traditional students were provided with the same opportunity to critique the school and allow for necessary changes and growths to take place.

At LSC, international students are provided with learning experiences that effectively tailor the experience to the needs of each individual student Dalton said.

Accounting for the language barrier, Chinese students that arrived this year have been provided with the opportunity to take an E.S.L (English Second Language) course both semesters. Dalton said that professors have been working with students and tailoring the class to fit each individual student's particular needs.  

"What we have been trying to do is to tailor what it is we provide specifically. We have so few students, it is crucial to identify what is it that they need, and then we figure out how to provide them with that," said Dalton.

The panel that the international students will be running today will be a way to pinpoint and identify any issues and proactively provide students with the proper solutions.
