    1. BYOA- Bring Your Own Article- Friday March 15 3pm ET

    We are repeating the same event we had last year where each of us brought in one article we had read on libraries and international students and shared with the group. It could be a research article or Opinion based article. Be prepared to:

      1. Summarize the article for your breakout room
      2. Discuss briefly how the article has informed your work with international students and/or how the article could inform our work with international students.
