NEW YORK SIX TO CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT DAY ON MARCH 31
(Syracuse, NY – March 29, 2023) The New York Six Liberal Arts Consortium will hold the third annual NY6 International Students Day on March 31, in recognition of the many ways these students enrich life on our campuses and in our communities. International students will receive a small token of appreciation from the Consortium, and their campuses will celebrate the day as well.
“A critical outcome of a liberal arts education is to give students the knowledge and skills to live and thrive in a global society,” said Amy Cronin, Executive Director of the New York Six. “ International students provide important perspectives and contribute to campus life in and out of the classroom, which benefit and enhance the experience of all students.”
Collectively, the New York Six schools enroll more than 1,000 international students from nearly every continent. The Consortium provides programming to support these students and to help them build community across the six institutions, including an annual International Student Summit, webinars, and day trips to explore upstate New York.
