Takehito Kamata, a Ph.D. student (higher education track) in the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development (OLPD), was quoted in the MN Daily article “International students could boost economy” by Taylor Nachtigal.
“Takehito Kamata, a graduate student from Japan and president of the University’s Council for International Graduate Students, came to the U.S. as an undergraduate. He said finding a job in order to stay in the states is a burden for many students like him.
Additionally, many employers are not familiar with the process of sponsoring potential employees to receive a work visa, Kamata said.
As a global leader, Kamata said, it’s important for the U.S. to understand the value of these students and their potential to create international connections.”
