As Scheduled
Date: 
Tue, 10/06/2015 - 09:00

Over the last two academic years, there have been students in our [WCCC] classrooms from over 40 different countries. Because we do not have large numbers of international students, it is sometimes easy to overlook their presence on campus. On October 6, faculty members from the University Center for International Studies at Pitt will provide unique insight into the life experiences of international students.
