International and American Student Bridge
As International students, we can sometimes have unique challenges with language barriers and cultural differences. We recognize it can be anxiety-provoking for everyone to talk to people with different backgrounds. Therefore, we are building a platform for international students and American students to share their thoughts and feelings towards socializing with each other.
Come get a cup of bubble tea and leave a note card to let people know how you think and feel about connecting with someone with different backgrounds. We hope to create a community where everyone feels belonged and is connected.
The event is sponsored by Peabody Chinese Student Organization (PCSO) and Peabody Professional and Graduate Student Association (PPGSA).

Doctoral Training Grant Info Session: Linguistically Diverse Students with Disabilities (LDSD)
The overarching vision of Department of Special Education is that all students can effectively learn with appropriate instruction and opportunities. For this vision to be realized, substantial expertise at the intersection of language and disability status is non-negotiable.
Our grant is focused on preparing leaders who understand the needs of linguistically diverse students at risk for or with disabilities (from hereon LDSD) who overwhelmingly have intersecting identities as racial/ethnic minorities and as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
