The Three Pillars of Our Work
Start with one step. See the change. Grow from there.
Dr. Lemon Education: Equipping educators to build systems where international students truly feel they belong.
Dr. Lemon Consulting: Strategic guidance to create inclusive, sustainable support across the campus experience.
Dr. Lemon Talks: Real stories. Deep insights. Delivered with heart — to spark change and connection.
Our Purpose
Supporting international students isn’t about helping them survive — it’s about helping them belong, grow, and succeed.
We combine lived experience, research, and real-world practice to help institutions:
understand WHY international students struggle,
learn HOW to support them with cultural responsiveness, and
WHAT it takes to build systems that create true belonging, not temporary fixes.
We nurture campuses that are built with intention, sustained with care, and ready to help every international student thrive.
What Makes Dr. Lemon Group Different?
We don’t just add international flavor to diversity — we rethink the whole recipe.
At Dr. Lemon Group, we go beyond surface-level inclusion to address the deeper realities shaping international student experiences. Through lived experience, real student stories, and rigorous research, we help institutions understand:
WHY students feel unseen, unheard, or unsupported — even in “welcoming” environments
HOW U.S.-centric norms, language expectations, and cultural assumptions create invisible barriers
WHAT it takes to move from scattered support to campus-wide transformation
From academic adaptation and social integration to climate, language fatigue, and equity in resources — we don’t just treat the symptoms. We help you get to the root causes — and grow something better.
