Intercultural Session with the Mentors

Saturday, April 21
5 - 7 pm
Murray-Herrick Center, Room 160

Please join us in a discussion of Intercultural Communication on Saturday, April 21 from 5 to 7 pm. Aya Chladek, Christina Flach, Diego Jaque Pino and Emily Novak will guide us through a discussion of Cultural Misunderstandings, Culture Shock, Re-entry Shock amongst other topics.

This is a great opportunity to share what you have learned during your time here in the United States. OISS will also be looking for volunteers to help us compile a pamphlet of anecdotes and recommendations for future international students. Your help will be very much appreciated.

This event is organized by the Mentor Program, Christina Flach and Aya Chladek.

Cookies and refreshments will be served.
