The Global Student Voices Podcast follows three international students on their journey to “learn how to learn” over their semester at Humber. Our students, Andrey, Aneri and Sean share their experiences on a wide range of topics such as their learning expectations, culture and identity and faculty and mentorship. We recorded their experiences and then shared them with a panel leaders from the Humber community who reflected on what the students had to say.

Postsecondary educators, both in Canada and around the world, are often quick to bisect student populations into “domestic” and “international” segments. While that may be a convenient metric to use in a variety of situations, the result often causes minds to think in very homogenous terms with respect to the thousands of students we host from around the world on our campuses. Global Student Voices was made in reaction to that – we hear from actual international students about their experiences both in and out of the classroom. Through this process, we hear many familiar refrains, about teaching, learning, technology, family, finances and a litany of others. It’s our hope that this series will bring pause to those that are quick to divide our students into a separate “bucket”, and to realize that a student is a student, regardless of the passport they are carrying in their knapsack.
