Through an exploratory sequential mixed-methods case study of 1 midsize research university, this study models how to use research to assess student experiences of campus climate and then create new opportunities that address their needs on campus. The purpose of this study was to explore Saudi graduate students’ experiences and their interactions with U.S. faculty, staff, and students. Participants cited mostly positive interactions with faculty and staff, but limited or negative interactions with U.S. students, including incidents of direct and indirect discrimination, a lack of cultural and religious understanding, and pervasive gender stereotypes for Muslim women who veil. The study offers implications for higher-education administrators and faculty to improve campus climate for 1 population of international students.

打破沉默：沙特研究生在美国校园的经历。

通过对 1 所中型研究型大学的探索性顺序混合方法案例研究，本研究模拟了如何使用研究来评估学生对校园气候的体验，然后创造满足他们在校园需求的新机会。本研究的目的是探索沙特研究生的经历以及他们与美国教职员工和学生的互动。参与者主要提到与教职员工的积极互动，但与美国学生的互动有限或消极，包括直接和间接歧视事件、缺乏文化和宗教理解，以及对戴面纱的穆斯林妇女普遍存在的性别刻板印象。该研究为高等教育管理人员和教职员工改善 1 名国际学生的校园环境提供了启示。
