In short, this is the one week of the year that is jam-packed with activities to open your senses to the world.

The UCIS-Nine University and College International Studies Consortium of Georgia Joint Faculty Development Workshop on “Mobilizing People, Students, and Ideas: Social Movements across the Globe and in the Undergraduate Curriculum” was held on March 6, 2015. The organizer of the program was the Director of the Consortium, Dr. Raj (Rajgopal) Sashti, of Middle Georgia State College. It was held on the campus of Clayton State University in Morrow, GA (metro Atlanta area) as part of an on-going collaboration.

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.
