Abstract

This multiple case study analysis investigates the culturally engaging nature of a US campus for international students using the Culturally Engaging Campus Environments (CECE) model. Semi-structured interviews and professional development workshop observations were conducted with six faculty and administrative leaders who work closely with international students with the aim of answering the overarching question: how do university faculty and student/academic affairs professionals working with international students perceive the institutional support systems for international students through the lens of the Culturally Engaging Campus Environments conceptual model? Salient findings indicated that change is most needed in the areas of opportunities for meaningful cross-cultural engagement, culturally validating environments, proactive philosophies, and availability of holistic support in within the study's campus context. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed in light of the CECE model.

大学领导对留学生支持的看法：使用 "文化参与型校园环境模型 "进行评估

本多重案例研究分析使用 "文化参与校园环境"（CECE）模型调查了美国校园对留学生的文化参与性质。我们对六位与留学生密切合作的教职员工和行政领导进行了半结构式访谈和专业发展研讨会观察，旨在回答以下首要问题：从文化参与型校园环境概念模型的视角来看，与留学生合作的大学教职员工和学生/学术事务专业人员如何看待留学生机构支持系统？突出的研究结果表明，在研究的校园环境中，最需要改变的领域是有意义的跨文化接触机会、文化验证环境、积极主动的理念以及全面支持的可用性。我们将根据 CECE 模型讨论其实践和理论意义。
