ISA Hosts International Grad Student Program on Nov. 11

Navigating the Grad Journey: Connect, Grow, and Thrive.
Wednesday, Nov. 11 @3-4PM at the International Center, Rm #303
International graduate & professional students often face unique challenges that go beyond academics, including navigating new cultural environments, building support networks, and planning for life after graduation. This 1-hour program, presented by the International Student Association (ISA), is designed to be a relaxed, peer-to-peer exchange where graduate & professional students can gather, share their journeys, and learn from one another.
Students will connect, learn from shared experiences through our Graduate Student panelists, discover useful MSU resources, and reflect on what to focus on at their current stage.  Food will be provided! Pre-registration preferred but not required.
