Navigating Cultures, Engaging in the Process: International Graduate Students' Leadership Process
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This emerging scholar piece explores how international graduate students in leadership roles within campus organizations at a U.S. higher education institution conceptualize their understanding of the leadership process based on their cultural backgrounds and experiences. International graduate students are often left out or are an afterthought within leadership education and leadership program design. If leadership programs wish to be more culturally relevant, then international graduate students, their experiences within higher education, and how they experience leadership needs to be examined. Using the culturally relevant leadership learning model as a framework, this narrative inquiry will investigate how international graduate students holding leadership positions in campus organizations have engaged with leadership both in their home countries and at U.S. higher education institutions.
