- W2046703291 abstract "Support and resources from the International Asian Women's Group helped me to grow my self-confidence and learn how to be an international student using my identity and culture as a strength.” —Student 1 “It is a positive group experience to me, and I am more open and feel comfortable in the group.” —Student 2 Since more than half of international students at the University of Minnesota are from Asian countries (Institute of International Education, 2008), and several women students expressed a desire for support, the Women's Center at the University of Minnesota launched an International Asian Women's Group (IAWG) in spring 2010. As an international Asian woman student, I thought about what I would want to gain from this group if I were a participant. How could it benefit international Asian women students on campus? How could we help them to adjust in a new culture? How could it meet all participants' needs? Those questions, and meeting with my co-facilitator who is an Asian woman faculty member, led to crafting the group's purpose: “The missions of the group are not only providing support for students but also helping them to succeed on campus.” As an intern at the Women's Center, I worked with staff to publicize the group on the Web site, post flyers and chalk the sidewalks in front of targeted buildings. In addition, I visited English as Second Language classes to make brief announcements. We emailed the recruitment poster to all Asian student organizations and departments (e.g., International Students & Scholar Services, Minnesota International Student Association, and Korean/ Chinese/ Philippine/ Vietnamese Student Association). Some faculty and advisors sent return emails, mentioning that self-confidence and career development are common issues for international students, and expressing hope that IAWG could help both students and the campus to grow in successful ways. The group kick-off activities built a great rapport and we learned about the many different Asian cultures there. During our first group meeting, one student told us, “I often felt hard to express myself in English. Since I am in the both an international Asian student and a woman, I think this group can provide me a good opportunity to start.” At the second meeting a speaker from International Students & Scholar Services offered a one-hour culture shock workshop. Six subsequent meetings included the topics of identity, self-esteem and career development. Throughout the spring 2010 semester, IAWG provided a safe place for seven students to meet and address issues like culture shock, cultural gaps, language barriers, social and academic adjustment and long-distance relationships. They learned effective coping strategies, building an increased sense of belonging and confidence. Participants found the short-term program helpful as they continued their adventures in the United States. Reach her at chuan039@umn.edu or chuang829@gmail.com" @default.
