St. Lawrence University celebrates International Education!

Each November, St. Lawrence University joins the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education in celebrating international education and exchange. This includes celebrating the contributions and impact of international students to St. Lawrence's campus and promoting awareness about opportunities to study off-campus. 

Throughout the week, student clubs and organizations, offices on-campus and other campus community members will offer a robust range of activities that are open to all. 

Is your club or organization planning an event for this week? Share with CIIS and ISS and we'll add it to the schedule! Got an idea for an event you'd like to host?
