Group Description

Join a group of international students to explore the cultural shifts in your life as you begin a new journey in a new country. Open up and share your experiences on topics such as barriers with assimilation, dealing with stereotypes, racism, and microaggressions, and discuss how life is as an immigrant in a safe and welcoming setting.

We will explore topics through open discussions, introspection, and meaningful activities in order to embrace both existing and new identities.

Light snacks and international fare will be served!
