 Services (ISSS) Office, and the American English Institute (AEI). We had <b>faculty, staff, and academic advisors</b> from across the COE attend the workshop on Monday. I loved seeing some of our academic program coordinators attend (shout out to<b> Angela
 Burham</b>) as well as some of our research track faculty (<b>Shawn Irvin, Lina Shanley</b>) to name a few! Each one of us plays a critical role in supporting students. Special thanks to
<b>Dianna Carrizales-Engelmann </b>for helping shape such an informative session, and to our guests - Dennis Galvan (Global Ed), Becky Crabtree (ISSS), and Cheryl Ernst (AEI) – who thoughtfully contributed their expertise to the presentation and discussion.
 A recording of this session (and some additional resources) will be shared with our COE community very soon. The genesis of this workshop was directly born out of listening sessions that Dianna and I held in the Fall term with International Students, as part
 of our larger DEI committee strategy. We look forward to additional engagement opportunities with faculty, staff, and students during our ongoing listening sessions.

 open the door for more meaningful community connections and provide an important platform for sharing observations about what’s going well and what needs the Dean’s office attention. I’m grateful for the time our faculty, staff, and students are devoting to
