A reflection
from an Expert
professional,

Dr. Tom Ellett

How has participation in the e-mentoring program benefited you professionally?
Any time one gets the opportunity to learn from another colleague with a different cultural context, DO IT! I have learned language differences, the context of the educational systems, traditional activities, food related specialties, how higher ed is funded, and so much more. It has helped me better converse with international students who come from these different countries as they visit my institution. And finally it provides me a perspective that the way we do things in US is different, not necessarily better. I have been much more aware of this as I engage with international colleagues throughout my work. It helps me realize there is not ONE way to approach our work, but many!

​

What might someone expect to gain as an e-mentor?
Perspective, new ways to think through things and an international friend to visit when you go to their country! Or connect with at the next international conference. I value broadening my knowledge base and realize that we are all in the same line of work, building stronger communities and helping students achieve their dreams by getting a degree (and much more).

​

How has your perspective of student affairs around the world grown through the experience? 
Very much so. I have benefited from working at an institution with a dozen global sites, and have had the ability to visit the majority of them. I think more broadly on what student affairs does, and how we need to be cognizant of language and the activities we do to ensure that we don’t exclude people in what we do.
