Inclusiviews
We invite members of the campus community to submit an essay on your viewpoints on diversity and inclusion at CSUMB. The purpose is to learn from each other about ways to promote an inclusive campus environment. The essay could be a reflective piece on your current job, research, or teaching as it relates to diversity/social justice, strategies for an inclusive workplace or classroom, or personal experiences that have shaped your thinking on these issues.
We will post your essays on the Office of Community and Belonging website and feature some in our future newsletters. Essays should be a maximum of 400 words.

Working with International Students
Here you will find Fall 2014 needs assessment report of CSUMB international students and faculty as well as material discussing cultural variations that may affect the classroom, intercultural competency, and inclusive teaching strategies.
With the international student population at CSUMB on the rise, the Office of Community and Belonging sponsored a graduate internship focused on the inclusion of international students on our campus during Summer and Fall 2014. The primary goal was to develop material to help CSUMB faculty better understand who our international students are, what challenges they face, and how the use of inclusive teaching practices can foster community building and intercultural learning, ultimately benefiting all students, not only international ones.
To learn more about programming for international students or study abroad opportunities for CSUMB students, please visit the International Programs website.
This handbook was developed in Fall 2014 in anticipation of the continued growth in CSUMB's international student population and with the understanding that CSUMB faculty will soon begin to see more linguistically and culturally diverse groups in their classrooms.

International Students
Objective:
To provide faculty with a better understanding of who their international students are and what challenges these students are likely to face. Having a better understanding of this population will help faculty determine how best to help them achieve academic success.
To this end, the handbook also offers suggestions and strategies for working with multicultural, multilingual, and multinational groups through a discussion of intercultural competence (ICC) and inclusive teaching techniques.
The handbook is divided into four parts and was designed so that the reader can select sections that interest him/her the most; it does not need to be read in sequence or in its entirety.
