| Summary: | This study sought to discover how well domestic students understand the value of international students on an internationalized campus. The study used qualitative narrative inquiry to investigate stories from domestic students who interact significantly with international students on their campus. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews at a large, urban university in the northeast with a large international student population. Jenny Lee's framework of neo-racism was used as a lens to understand domestic students' perception of the value of international students and to analyze their interactions. This study uncovered three major themes in Communication, Classroom Dynamics, and Relationships with International Students. It suggests ways to better integrate international students on campus by training domestic students to be more accepting and open-minded, and by rejecting neo-racist behaviors in order to accept international students on an internationalized campus.--Author's abstract
