IEEC Welcome Event Recap

Welcome Event 9/23/21 12-1 PM, Outside by International Hall

The IEEC’s Welcome Event happened last Thursday (9/23) and was a great time! Some new club members dropped by to chat and have some Chinese Mooncakes in honor of the Mid-Autumn Festival, plus a Seawolf currently studying in Paris caught up with us on Instagram Live! Make sure to swing by this week’s coffee and culture so you don’t miss out on any of the fun!

Join the IEEC on a trip to Bodega Bay! Get to know another part of Sonoma County as we go to one of the coolest beach towns on the West Coast. Take a walk on the beach, have some incredibly fresh seafood, and try saltwater taffy. We will be organizing a ride share, so make sure you sign up before October 6th because space is limited! We are looking for both drivers and passengers! Attendees who sign up by the deadline will be emailed with additional information prior to the event.

 

Coffee & Culture

Come hang out with IEEC for their first Coffee & Culture of the semester! This is a Fall themed event where you can get to know some of the international students studying at SSU, as well as local students interested in studying away. We will also be talking about fall traditions and holidays from around the world, as well as sampling a few snacks.
