This event is open to all, as this is a wide topic related to policies and processes - anyone is welcome to join whether you are part of the affinity group or not. We would love to have you join a virtual discussion on policies and processes in the field. This affinity group is your opportunity to connect with others working in the international field and share experiences in a safe and open environment.

As we understand the importance of diverse perspectives, this group aims to foster an inclusive understanding of how we support our students navigating their identities as well as our own journeys. Join us to exchange ideas and build professional networks in a colorful community of professionals.
