Share with your international graduate students: important research study

(Last updated: )

An array of international flags against a bright blue sky.

Faculty members are asked to help us spread the word about a new research study exploring the experiences and academic plans of international graduate engineering students.

The study is led by Travis Terpkosh, academic advising coordinator for the Fulton Schools computer science and computer engineering doctoral programs and a doctoral student in the educational policy and evaluation program, together with his faculty advisor, Lydia Ross, an assistant professor in ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation.

Survey details (for your students):

  • Eligibility: Non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled as graduate engineering students.
  • Time commitment: 10–15 minutes.
  • Completely anonymous: No identifying information will be collected; responses will never be linked to names, emails or student status.
  • Confidentiality: Results will not be shared with advisors, faculty or staff.
  • Voluntary participation: Students may skip any question or stop at any time.
  • Incentive: Four participants will be randomly selected to receive $25 Amazon gift cards.

Please consider sharing this opportunity with your students. Their input will help the Fulton Schools and ASU better understand and support the distinct experiences of international graduate students.

Students should submit responses online, and the survey will remain open through Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.
