New Mind is the story…
of international students chasing the promise of an elite education only to discover that language and cultural barriers stand in the way of their academic success. Dismayed by these challenges and struggling to properly diagnose core problems, their confidence suffers as solutions evade them.
With the help of a New Mind advisor, students can address potential issues before they become emergencies. By tapping into a network of campus and community support, they are empowered to successfully navigate the roller-coaster of cultural and academic transition to the American higher education system, gain independence, and achieve their personal goals.
At the heart of our programs are our high-impact experiences.
How does New Mind help universities bolster authentic engagement, foster intercultural connections, and develop global citizens among their international student population? The answer lies in New Mind’s Global Learning Curriculum (GLC).
Our research-informed GLC is a marriage of the prevailing theories of student development and cross-cultural integration. Its three pillars include:
- One-on-one advising with a cultural mentor
- Student-directed development plans
- High-impact experiences
Our approach promotes student agency that is facilitated by advisors who provide equal measures of challenge and support. In our programs, students enjoy immersive experiences across an array of curated topics, accelerating their progress towards personal and professional success.
