Poster Presentation at NAFSA 2011

Bernadette Fleischanderl, Head of International Office of the School of Management presented a poster at this year’s NAFSA conference in Vancouver. In the poster session block ‘Enhancing Learning Before, During, and After Study Abroad’ Bernadette presented the ‘International Exchange Student Learning Cycle’ which supports the cross-cultural learning of both, incoming and outgoing exchange students. Essential parts of the learning cycle such as pre-departure cultural preparation, orientation for incoming exchange students and support for international students to help reflect cultural experiences in Austria by creating short videos are part of Steyr’s support model. The poster aroused much interest among NAFSA conference participants.
