This newsletter is a way for us to communicate with the international students, staff and faculty here at UST about events, news and what's going on in our office.

If you would like anything to be published in our newsletter, please email Nico at nmoreau@stthomas.edu.

We have set up a Friday deadline for the collection of information that will go in the newsletter sent out the following Tuesday.

Please indicate if there is a specific date you want your information to be published and how long you want it to run. For personal ads, we will run your request for two consecutive newsletters.
