On this episode, we spoke with Welly Minyangadou Ngokobi (McGill University) and Chuwkuanugo Joseph Okudo (President of Brandon University Students’ Union) about what institutions can learn from international students. We discussed how international students carry both inherited knowledge and academic knowledge, and that institutions need to recognize this strength. We talked about strategies for cultural responsivity, strengthening participation, and for building a sense of community where student expertise and intergenerational knowledge is recognized and valued.
