In this Cultural Conversation, we’ll discuss how culture can impact our beliefs, behaviors, and interactions in an academic setting. The expectations and “norms” of the educational system you grew up in might be quite different than what you’ll find in the U.S. We’ll take a closer look at U.S. academic culture, what academic integrity means at SJSU, and we’ll share tips and strategies to help you on your way to academic success!

Cultural Conversations are part of the Beyond Global Spartan Welcome (BGSW) series hosted by International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS). BGSW aims to help new international students transition to SJSU and life in the U.S.
