“As a former SLU international student myself, I enjoy working with all international students as I know SLU has many great things to offer! SLU is a diverse and engaging environment for international students. Our students can experience wonderful opportunities and many fun events on and off campus. As an Assistant Professor from the Center for Health Outcomes Research, I love teaching students research and watching them discover their own research interest is extremely rewarding!”

Malgorzata, TESOL Instructor
“INTO SLU offers students the unique opportunity to meet other students from different countries in a peaceful setting of a university classroom and gives them a great chance to become respectful friends regardless of their cultural background.
I highly value teaching languages because in today’s cultural globalization, learning foreign languages is an important experience that brings us together and helps us deeper understand each other. SLU offers a high quality of Jesuit Education that focuses on intellectual, moral and spiritual development of students, which makes it the best place to study and work.
My top tips for students [are] communicate with your instructor often, use academic support sources when you feel unsure, participate in the cultural events as much as possible and most importantly, always be an ambassador of your own country and culture.”

Stephen, Professor, Department of Aviation Science
“The aviation industry is one of the most 'global' industries: connecting people, cultures and businesses across continents. Aviation provides the only rapid worldwide transportation network, which makes it essential for global business. It generates economic growth, creates jobs, and facilitates international trade and tourism.
One of the courses that I enjoy teaching is International Aviation. In this course, we explore the ways in which aviation benefits society economically, socially and politically. The course takes on a more real effect when international students are interacting in the class providing input on the effects of aviation in their home country.”
