Abstract
ID: 21
Part of the image that is drafted when someone imagines a typical university campus is a bustling international student and faculty body where individuals can be met by a diverse group of people. This was once part of Western Oregon University’s (WOU) image. However, in recent years, WOU has experienced a significant decline in international engagement, marked by the closure of its study-abroad office and the absence of international students on campus following the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of international students on WOU’s campus creates a lack of worldly interaction that American students have come to expect and desire from their universities. Coupling this with the near-complete lack of study abroad opportunities following the closure of WOU’s study abroad office has culminated in a striking loss to the students' ability to experience different cultures and peoples. Building international relationships at the individual level is extremely important in today's global world today. Benefits to the students, such as academic opportunities, increased competitiveness in the job market, building personal connections, and confidence building, are all sorely lost in the current status quo at WOU. This is not an insurmountable problem. With enough desire and action from the students, faculty, and administration, WOU’s campus could be revitalized into a living and breathing international university again.
