“…Scientists Elliot D.L., Kobayashi S. on the basis of a qualitative study examine the experience of academic leaders and foreign graduate students regarding academic and psychosocial adaptation in a new cultural environment and emphasize the importance of intercultural aspects of mentoring of academic leaders [5]. This emphasizes the importance of curatorial service, mentoring and ensuring constructive intercultural communications and tolerance, especially during the period of adaptation of students and graduate students to study at a university [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13].…”

The article presents the research results of the adaptation of the modern generation of university freshmen to study. We present the analysis of the socio-psychological characteristics of the modern generation of freshmen 2020. New requests and expectations of students to the educational process at the university, the transformation of competencies demanded by the economy form development vectors for universities, including the issues of ensuring the successful adaptation of the new incoming students. We considered important trends in the discussion of adaptation problems that are described in the publications of the scientific community. The balance between socio-psychological and educational adaptation is justified when the university works with freshmen of 2020. The key approaches in which may be as follows. The first is the development of an impression economy-a positive emotional background of what is happening. The second is a sense of importance and significance of the student's personality, psychological interaction. The third is creating a successful situation for everyone-a variety of proposals for finding areas of personal growth. The fourth is early immersion in social and professional networks. And the last is relevant educational and extracurricular digital content.

“…The findings of this study prompt important points of consideration that mirror, challenge, and enhance existing findings in the literature. In recent years, scholars have increasingly realized that higher education institutions and their members should adapt to different demographics of college students (Güzel & Glazer, 2019). Earlier deficit-minded approaches to college student success assumed that lack of success was a student's fault, which inherently exonerated institutions from responsibility (Clycq Nouwen & Vanderbroucke, 2014).…”

Set in the context of four-year colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, this study examined how the level of thriving differs for international students and their domestic peers, how the level of thriving differs across various subgroups within international students, and how academic self-confidence is associated with the level of thriving for international students. Using data from the 2017 Thriving Quotient, this study found that international students were less likely to thrive during their college years than their domestic peers and that Asian international students were less likely to thrive than their international peers of other racial groups. Findings also suggested that academic self-confidence was significantly and positively related to international students’ thriving during their college years.

“…Figure 3 represents the coded preferences from a content analysis of interview responses of both non-Nigerian and Nigerian migrants within the local area. The measuring yardstick from reputable writers in acculturation (Ward & Kennedy, 1994;Berry, 1997;Ward & Rana-Deuba, 2009;Berry, 2005;Güzel & Glazer, 2019) was adopted as a guiding framework to measure the process of acculturation of the migrants. We found migrant acculturation in this area to be profoundly influenced by (1) migrant adaptation while unconsciously pursuing assimilation, (2) migrant tendency to blend original identity with local culture (3) strong identifications with the host community, and (4) migrant localising and interaction.…”

How does humanitarian action at the grassroots shape support for children of intra-continental migrant? Despite a large volume of research outputs and public policy advocacy on migration, there has been little work on the crucial nexus between local humanitarian efforts and migrant children’s educational needs. Conceptually, we viewed humanitarian action beyond the traditional definition as a tool for emergency response. We included efforts aimed at dignifying migrant children with basic education and enhancement of their integration in the new location. Cross-sectional data obtained from agencies of government at the grassroots were employed to measure the effects of local humanitarian action on the education of migrant children. The finding showed that institutionalised humanitarian efforts provide real-time support for basic education of migrant children. Also, burdensome obligations and lack of financial independence for governance at the grassroots curtailed the magnitude of assistance rendered by local authorities. Using Talcott Parson’s functionalist theory, we suggested three mutually transformative approaches. First, constraints by the upper levels of government– State and Federal tiers– exacerbate financial incapacitation and, ultimately, impede humanitarian effort at the grassroots. Second, provision of critical humanitarian needs, such as migrant children’s education, fosters social integration and crime control among migrants. Finally, intra-continental migration is not debased by acculturation. The findings showcase the need for strengthening the financial capacity of governance at the grassroots to reinforce common interests between migrants and host communities.
