The Covid-19 pandemic caused unique challenges to international students. Student Affairs and Services (SAS) across the higher education sector played a key role in supporting students and institutions during the pandemic. This article reports the findings of an exploratory survey with SAS practitioners from around the globe on the ways in which SAS responded to the pandemic and sought to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on students in general and international students specifically. The results demonstrate that international students were among the primary groups of students impacted by the pandemic. Specific challenges identified include mental wellbeing, inability to return home, financial hardships, fear, and uncertainty. Discrimination of certain groups was also noted. SAS intervened to assist international students in navigating these challenges across world regions, including services declared essential for international student support. Finally, financial implications and the future of international student support are explored.

If a student is suffering from depression or anxiety, going to the counseling center is the best plan of action. Staff there are usually able to see students on a short term basis and refer them to a psychotherapist and psychiatrist if necessary. Availability can vary by the college’s resources, however. There are many other sources of support on campus including resident advisers, student support groups, deans, college chaplains, and faculty mentors. There are also specific services for victims of sexual assault. The process of getting help is revealed by the story of a young woman returning from the semester abroad and her challenges reintegrating into the college campus. Issues of confidentiality and family involvement are also discussed.
