Happy first week of classes, Seawolves! We want to offer a warm welcome to our new friends this semester and a hearty welcome back to all of our returning students! Here are some fun events to keep your eye on. All events will also be posted on our IEEC website under the Get Involved tab!
Here’s to a Great Spring Semester!
We here at the Global Engagement Office would like to give a warm welcome to all of our new international students with us for this semester! We are excited to have you here and are looking forward to all of the fun memories that we will be making this semester! With students from all over the globe, this is a great time to learn about other cultures and grow our appreciation for worldly bonds!
Welcome Reception
January 30th, 12-1 PM at the International Hall 107
Join us next Thursday for this semester's Welcome Reception! We will be welcoming everyone, new and old, to Sonoma State. There will be a photo contest and food, so make sure you swing by! To those from abroad, be sure to submit your photos for the contest before noon on Monday!
Boren Scholarship: Due January 29th
The deadline for the Boren scholarship is coming up! Be sure to have all your i’s are dotted and your t’s are crossed to ensure you have the best chance of being selected. If you’re going to a location of interest to the US, this scholarship is a great opportunity to strengthen your connections and allow you to immerse yourself in other communities and cultures. You can find out more about this scholarship on the Boren Scholarship Page.
Application Workshops
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, from January 27th to February 13th
Need some time or space to work on your application? Have questions about the process or simply want someone to look over it, then these workshops are a great way to do that! From 12-1PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays you can drop into IH107. As we have some events already planned during that time slot, please check our GEO calendar to ensure that the workshop is happening, instead of another event! We look forward to seeing you!
