In celebration of International Education Week, COMM 260, communication and culture, is collaborating with the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (OISSS) to present a special session about international student experiences at Augustana College. The session will begin with a presentation by the Director of OISSS, Xong Sony Yang, in which she will share what OISSS does on campus and how the office supports international students. Then, global ambassadors and other international students will be special guests in a panel discussion about the experiences of international students on Augustana's campus.
