UGS Co-Chair Laila Ali ’28 and Communications Committee Co-Chair Ashton Dolce ’29 presented four proposals to help international students. The proposals included creating academic tracks that require internships, establishing an experiential learning requirement, expanding summer research funding and increasing and developing partnerships with international organizations and employers to offer more opportunities abroad.
