Unpacked, the Edmonds College OIP podcast
Welcome to Unpacked, the Edmonds College OIP podcast where we dive into the real stories
of international students and “unpack” their experience.
Each episode, we sit down with students, alumni, and staff to explore the journey of studying in the U.S.—from first impressions and cultural surprises to building friendships and finding a sense of belonging far from home.
Whether you’re a current student, considering Edmonds College, or simply curious about international education, you’ll find connection, insight, and community here.
Let’s get Unpacking!
Episode 1: Unpacking First Impressions
How fitting that our first episode is about first impressions! In this episode, we sit down with current student and OIP Marketing Assistant, Vincent Nguyen, to talk about his first weeks at Edmonds College.
Episode 2: Unpacking Belonging
We are so excited that Ruth Nakigozi, recent graduate and our 2024-25 Student Government Executive Officer for Administration, was able to sit down with us and talk about finding her place and fostering belonging on campus.
Episode 3: Unpacking Advising
Coming September 5, 2025
Let's hear it for our International Student Advisor, Aimee Jiang! On this episode, we're talking all things advising: common questions, transfer advice, helpful resources, and more. This would be great to listen to before the Fall Quarter starts!
