Linda Du, M.S.

International Programs Manager International Education Department
Shoreline Community College

What inspired you to work in this field?
As a former international student myself who received a lot of support and benefited from studying in the U.S., I want to help international students and promote international education. I hope everyone will get to explore the world and celebrate cultural diversity as a global citizen.

What are the challenges you've faced?
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is helping students with limited resources (internet, funding, support network, etc.) enjoy and complete their studies smoothly and successfully. 

What do you hope to achieve in the future?
I hope to collaborate with other international educators to increase the accessibility of international study programs.

If you can give 1 or 2 pieces of advice to our prospective international students, what would it be?
Dream big and don’t be afraid to ask your questions. Try to find a few mentors — you can learn a lot from them.
