Jef Davis’ book Intercultural
Sensitivity in Foreign Student
Advising could be helpful to international
student advisors and other
professionals in two ways. First, it may help advisors
understand the issues and concerns of international students
who bring their diverse social and cultural backgrounds
to American institutions of higher education.
After the 9/11 attack in 2001, it was assumed that foreign
students perceived social and cultural bias because
of their nationality, religion, gender, or language.
Following the 9/11 attacks, American colleges and universities
did seem to experience significant changes in
monitoring and regulating international student visas
and the student exchange visitor information system
(SEVIS).
