This research investigated international undergraduate students’ needs when adjusting to their new campus, academic and social life. The results from a significant survey of international students provided us with an evidence base to understand the improved student experience this cohort may seek in what will likely be a competitive environment for attracting international students post-COVID-19. While this case study has focused on one faculty, our findings are relevant to higher education institutions across disciplines, domestically and internationally.

Over the course of my undergraduate studies in Molecular and Cellular Biology and the experiences following my graduation, I became increasingly interested in research that can directly improve patient care. My research experiences in the U.S. include studying cytochrome P450 enzymes in Nanodiscs at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and examining immune evasion by acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. Beyond work in the laboratory, I also participated in a year-long project to implement a water delivery system in Honduras, leading to my interest in infectious disease research. My interest in this field grew after learning about phage therapy, a way of treating antibiotic-resistant infections, during an honors virology seminar. Only a few research groups are dedicated to studying phage therapy, which includes the Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy (IIET) in Poland. I was fortunate enough to receive a U.S. Fulbright research grant to study the immune response to phage therapy under the mentorship of Prof. hab. n. med. Andrzej Górski at the IIET. In this article, I will discuss my involvement at U.S. and European institutions, the insights I have gained, and how other students can similarly get involved in research.

Studia magisterskie z zakresu biologii molekularnej i komórkowej oraz późniejsze doświadczenia zawodowe sprawiły, że zaczęłam coraz bardziej interesować się badaniami mogącymi bezpośrednio poprawić poziom opieki nad pacjentem. W USA w Nanodiscs na Uniwersytecie Illinois w Urbana--Champaign prowadziłam badania nad cytochromem P450,a w Cancer Center na Uniwersytecie Kolorado pracowałam nad mechanizmami unikania odpowiedzi immunologicznej stosowanymi przez komórki rakowe ostrej białaczki limfoblastycznej. Oprócz pracy w laboratorium, brałam także udział w jednorocznym projekcie dotyczącym wdrażania systemów dystrybucji wody użytkowej w Hondurasie, który przekierował moje zainteresowania naukowe w stronę chorób zakaźnych. Dodatkowych inspiracji dostarczyło seminarium wirusologiczne, na którym dowiedziałam się o terapii fagowej, nowoczesnej metodzie leczenia infekcji wywołanych bakteriami opornymi na antybiotyki. Zaledwie kilka grup badawczych na świecie zajmuje się terapią fagową, wśród nich znajduje się polski Instytut Immunologii i Terapii Doświadczalnej (IIET). Miałam niezwykły zaszczyt otrzymać grant naukowy Polsko- -Amerykańskiej Fundacji Fulbrighta, który pozwolił mi studiować zagadnienia z zakresu immunologii i jej wpływ na terapię fagową, pod kierunkiem prof. dr. hab. n. med. Andrzeja Górskiego z IIET. W poniższym artykule pragnę przedstawić swoje doświadczenia i spostrzeżenia dotyczące kontaktów z amerykańskimi i europejskimi instytucjami, udziału w międzynarodowych projektach badawczych, a także opiszę, w jaki sposób inni studenci mogą zaangażować się w podobne przedsięwzięcia.

The article deals with the peculiarities of American professional undergraduate and graduate training in economics. The analysis of documents, scientific and educational literature demonstrates the diversity of the US training courses and combinations of disciplines in economics. It has been defined that leading position of the USA in the world and its impact on the economic life of other countries has predetermined the development of the internationalization of economic education at the undergraduate and graduate level: by offering courses in International Economics as well as introductory programs for international Internships for students and teachers. The program of study in economics provides various forms of learning, number of major, minor and elective courses. It has been determined that economics majors include variety of courses, ranging from those which are intensely mathematical like Principles of Economics, Microeconomic, Macroeconomics and Econometrics, to more philosophical courses like History of Economic Thought. Moreover, courses in Survey Design, Political Science and Computer Science are also highly recommended and essential for future success. In order to achieve the objectives in economists' training in high school a system of new methods, means and approaches (“Chalk and Talk”, “Proficiency Approach”, “Peaconomics”, “Writing Intensive”) are used to stimulate and motivate students to cognitive functions. The educational process and control by teachers through traditional and innovative techniques provides effective feedback.
