S01E06: Clayon Levy - Covid-19: Friend or foe to international students?
Mental health struggles and isolation were already two major issues that student affairs practitioners were helping international students tackle prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. For International Education Week, we chat with Clayon Levy, formerly the Quarantine Accommodations Officer at the University of Toronto, about how these issues were elevated for international students during the pandemic.
Now Assistant Dean, Administration & Operations at the University of St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto, Clayon discusses the lessons we can learn from the pandemic as practitioners. He also outlines some areas of improvement that universities should capitalize on to best support international students as we recover and higher education continues to evolve.
