International/Transnational Dialogue Group

International/Transnational Dialogue Group (I/TDG) is a student-run organization at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies (GSE&IS). Our first meeting took place in the Fall quarter of 2016, and over the year we have hosted various activities to support the students and scholars of international/transnational background and interest at GSE&IS. For example, in the beginning of this Fall quarter, I/TDG hosted the very first Welcome Orientation for International/Transnational Students and Scholars at GSE&IS. The goal of the orientation was for new graduate students and visiting scholars to meet with the more experienced members of the community, to learn about campus safety services, and to gain support and resources students and scholars may need to transition and succeed at GSE&IS and beyond. Ultimately, I/TDG hopes to provide a comfortable and supportive space for students and scholars with international/transnational backgrounds and/or interests to talk about their concerns, to ask questions, and to engage with one another. I/TDG also aims to raise awareness of the experiences, perspectives, and resources that international/transnational students and scholars bring to GSE&IS and UCLA at large. Vice versa, I/TDG is also committed to bring the local cultures and concerns closer to the international/transnational community so that fruitful dialogues and collaborations between the local and the global can emerge that makes our diverse community at GSE&IS strong and vibrant. Lastly, I/TDG welcomes anyone in the GSE&IS community to join us for an engaged dialogue, a candid conversation, or any of the activities and services we provide during the year. In short, I/TDG is a social and intellectual space that hope to support all members of its community at GSE&IS and be sustained by the needs and commitment of its members.
