Hello Everyone,

We will hold elections for new International Student Association (ISA) officers in April so we are recruiting candidates. I am holding a session on Thursday, March 25 at 5pm so that interested students can learn more about it. Being on the ISA Executive Board is a great way to develop your leadership skills and will look GREAT on your resume. We hope to get back to normal operations next year so I anticipate A LOT of fun. Please join for this information session on Zoom.

Hello guys,

The coffee hour this week is both in-person and on zoom.

Those who live off-campus will be able to sign up and pick up ingredients to cook an international dish by following along through Zoom.

The students who are living on-campus and do not have access to a kitchen will be able to join us in-person at Estabrooke Hall and watch the cooking on Zoom and judge who cooked the best-looking dish. Whether you will be able to join us in-person or virtually, it will be so much fun!

For the signing up, please check the email or scan the QR code on the flyer
