I’m honored to be presenting in Seattle at the 45th Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience, February 15–18, 2026.

My session will explore mental health in education through a global and practical lens, connecting student well-being, leadership, and resilience with insights drawn from Taiwan and China travel and cross-cultural engagement. The focus is on actionable strategies educators and institutions can apply to better support students during critical transition years.
