Weam Elsheikh - OSU Thesis

Weam Elsheikh, a TCK and recent recipient of a Masters of Science in College Student Services Administration from Oregon State University, wrote her thesis on the topic of “Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and their Sense of Belonging on U.S College Campuses.” Many TCKs from Lewis & Clark were interviewed by Weam to provide insight for her research, so this thesis is an excellent way to learn about connecting to Lewis & Clark and other TCKs here.

Read Weam’s thesis here.

And, if you would like to use Weam’s thesis in your own research/writing, please cite her work. Here is an MLA-style citation you can use: Elsheikh, Weam. “Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and Their Sense of Belonging on U.S College Campuses.” Oregon State University, 13 May 2020.

AES Conversation Partners Program

The AES Conversation Partners Program is a partnership between TCK Board and Academic English Studies (AES) Department at Lewis & Clark College. By pairing proficient English speakers with international students who want to improve their English-language abilities, Conversation Partners promotes English-language fluency and confidence, fosters friendships, and encourages cross-cultural understanding. Conversation partners will generally meet once a week and will periodically check in with Brenna, the TCK Intern. Contact Brenna at tck@lclark.edu if you would like to learn more about the Conversation Partners Program.
