SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY (NY) SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR LOOKS AT THE
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXPERIENCE
When Associate Professor Yingyi Ma arrived on campus in 2006 to teach, she
noticed few international students from China at the undergraduate level. Since
then, at SU and other universities, a change has been occurring.
“Many universities, especially public universities, are recruiting more international students from
Asia,” Ma says. The number of international students is as high as 10 percent or more of
undergraduates at some universities.
Those observations have led to her latest research and a purpose in helping institutions think about
the best experience for international students.
