International Alumni Reunion

All students are invited to join the Panel Discussion on September 23 from 10 to 11:30 am  where UST international alumni will discuss:

• focus on career development;
• short presentations from alumni on how their lives changed after UST;
• reverse culture shock when they returned to their home country;
• how they have adjusted being in the US

Students who attend the Panel Discussion will receive a complementary BBQ lunch following the panel. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP by emailing intlreunion@stthomas.edu so we can have an idea of how many students will attend.
