This special talk concerning diversity in academia is open to all, and we encourage participation to increase understanding of the diverse experiences academics encounter. The academic experience is different for each one of usregardless our background. However, immigrants, like Dr. Garcia-Sierra, need tocope with extra complexity like adapting to a new culture, learning new rules and possibly learning a new language. Dr. Garcia-Sierra will share his experiences as an immigrant from Mexico trying to do “his way” into Tenure, including his personal experiences as a PhD student, post-doc fellow and now as an assistant professor. We also encourage attendants to bring their stories to share during the discussion. Please see the attached flyer. ____________ Arthur Galinat Assistant Director International Student & Scholar Services UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT GLOBAL AFFAIRS 2011 HILLSIDE ROAD, U-1083 STORRS, CT 06269-1083 PHONE: 860.486.3855 | EMAIL: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://isss.uconn.edu<http://isss.uconn.edu/> | www.facebook.com/UConnISSS<http://www.facebook.com/UConnISSS> | Appointments: http://www.advapp.uconn.edu/ > ISSS Chair, Region XI NAFSA: Association of International Educators
