Managing Challenges in Social Engagement: A Processing and Learning Space for International Students

To celebrate International Student Month, the Peabody Chinese Student Organization is creating a space for all international students to share their experiences and difficulties with each other. This event will be weekly in March* (not including the Spring Break), and lunch will be provided on a first come, first served basis.

Whether you are facing difficulty in classroom discussion, in making meaningful social connections outside the classroom, in finding a sense of belonging in Nashville, on navigating the difference in language and expression, or literally anything else, we are here to support and share our own experiences and resources. This is a safe and informal space for you to share, to connect, to process and to learn new skills to cope with difficulties in navigating your academic and personal life in Nashville.

University Counseling Center (UCC) Drop-in Consultation for International and APIDA-identifying Students

UCC Drop-In Consultation provides easy access to informal, confidential, and free consultations with University Counseling Center counselors.

UCC Drop-In Consultation is generally helpful for students who 1) are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor, 2) may not be interested in ongoing therapy but would like the perspective of a counselor, 3) have a specific problem and would like to talk it through with a counselor, or 4) have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do.

Students who are experiencing an immediate mental health emergency are encouraged to attend UCC Urgent Care, instead of Drop-In Consultation. For any questions about UCC Drop-In Consultation, please call 615-322-2571.

Every Tuesday
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 
Peabody Administration Building Heritage Room 218B.

UCC Drop-In Consultation hours at Peabody are specifically for APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American) students and/or International students who wish to receive brief support around concerns which may be impacted by their identities, in an overtly affirming space.
