Check out these events held by SCAD’s ISSO for international students

Although we just have one more week until the Fall quarter is over, this short period of time can get very intense and overwhelming, especially if you’re far away from home for the holidays or if you’re doing school online during this pandemic.

SCAD’s International Student Services Office (ISSO) is hosting activities to help you destress and interact with other international students, and make you feel more at home if you’re stuck in Atlanta, or stuck at home behind a computer. Check out this list below:

International Education Week ‘Brain Break’

Counseling and student support services international student support group

International students have very different experiences when attending a school in a foreign country. In order to help cope with these differences, the Crossing the Cultural Divide international student support group is open to all international students and provides a safe, private space to discuss experiences related to living in the U.S.  

Join the event 11 a.m. ET, every Monday.
