International Programs Director Ramona Kirsch with face-to-face session attendees<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many thanks to the students who joined our\u00a0inaugural International Programs Student Focus Group! Study Abroad and International students gave valuable input on the future shape of international programming at SPC. Dedicated participants even joined via phone conference to make sure their voices were heard!<\/p>\n

Director Ramona Kirsch introduced attendees to new initiatives and opportunities like the Global Citizen Pathway and Global Partners at SPC. We were excited to hear student opinions about how best to reach them regarding upcoming events, and got ideas for new forms of programming. Food, films, and guest speakers were high on the list. MyCourses communication is a new and critical part of student life at SPC, and featured heavily in the conversation as well. The International Programs department learned a lot and appreciates all the student insight.<\/p>\n

Look out\u00a0for future\u00a0student focus group events \u2013 we want to hear from YOU!<\/strong><\/p>\n
