"The Foreign Student in America" is a comprehensive sociological and educational study examining the experiences, challenges, and impact of international students within the United States during the early 20th century. Authored by W. Reginald Wheeler, Henry King, and Alexander Davidson, the work provides an in-depth analysis of the growing trend of global migration for higher education and the unique position of the foreign scholar in American society.

The text explores various facets of the student experience, from academic pursuits and social integration to the influence of American culture on visiting scholars. It investigates the administrative and social responsibilities of host institutions, offering insights into how universities can better support diverse populations. By documenting the demographic shifts and the exchange of ideas facilitated by international education, the book serves as a vital historical record of American global engagement in the post-World War I era.

Through its rigorous investigation of religious, social, and political influences, "The Foreign Student in America" highlights the importance of cross-cultural understanding. It remains an essential resource for those interested in the history of higher education, the evolution of international relations, and the foundational practices of modern student exchange programs.

New Accessibility in Higher Education: Disrupting the System for an Inclusive Future
The commitment to accessibility serves as a catalyst for developing and implementing practices that prevent barriers and can better allow for inclusive participation with the world around us. Unfortunately, the importance of accessibility does not always equate with commitment and compliance. While there has been a slow-moving effort to increase accessibility, the global pandemic and several key social justice movements have spotlighted inaccessible content and systems. <p/><em>The New Accessibility in Higher Education</em> guides the reader through the various areas of higher education, detailing how barriers to access were identified and how accessibility was reimagined and improved through the perspectives of faculty, administrators, and students. The book considers the multidimensionality of accessibility and how postsecondary scholars and practitioners must reconsider how accessibility in postsecondary education is understood and achieved. It argues that higher education can no longer ignore issues of accessibility nor revert to previous, antiquated, and discriminatory policies that do not support the success of disabled students. The book not only spotlights what occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent key events but, instead, but also provides a roadmap for the continued integration of more accessible strategies within modern higher education.
