Cultural Potluck

Friday, April 15th, 2022 6-9 pm

Spend an evening snacking and relaxing with the IEEC at our potluck! Bring a drink or a dish that reminds you of home as we’ll be exploring the world one snack at a time. This will be a great opportunity to get to know students who will be studying abroad soon. Try some new foods, make some new friends, and get excited about your upcoming adventures. 

 

Cloverdale Citrus Fair Trip

Friday, April 22nd, 2022 1 pm meet up @ the flagpole 

The Cloverdale Citrus Fair is one of the most anticipated events of the year in Sonoma County so of course the IEEC will be attending! Come along with us to experience all the fair has to offer, such as rides, food, and carnival games. We’ll be meeting at the flagpole at 1 pm and carpooling to the fair together so be sure to sign up as soon as possible to secure your spot! Seeing an American fair is a must, especially for international students!

 

Tip of the Week: Don’t forget to check your SSU email! 

If you’re planning on studying abroad this upcoming fall semester or school year make sure to check your SSU email frequently. The Global Engagement Office, along with the individual programs, will be sending out important updates as well as hosting mandatory meetings. All of this will be vital for your upcoming studies so be sure to check often.
