International Student and Scholar Services Workshops

The ISSS Intercultural workshops combine intercultural competency and skills development with discussions of the unique practices, customs, and values of some of the largest international student populations on our campus.

Each session helps U of M staff members gain greater cultural self-awareness, an understanding of the contributions of international students, and communication skills to improve interactions and relationships with international students, staff, and faculty.
