Intercultural New Student Orientation
The Office of Intercultural Life is hosting an Intercultural New Student Orientation (INSO) program this fall for our incoming Intercultural Students (i.e. international, third-culture, and U.S. ethnic minority students).
This program will be held prior to the start of our standard, broader new student orientation program. The dates are the following:
- Intercultural Students (INSO): August 19-21, 2024
Be sure to register so we can plan for your participation. Our staff is excited to begin this journey with you!
