Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Conversations

Location: 
Virtual

Description: Peer-to-Peer Conversations (P2P) allow current international students to share their advice around a variety of topics that will best prepare new international students for their time at the University of Michigan.

The International Center Summer Orientation Peer Advisers will provide information and resources based on their personal experiences and answer new students' questions. Each session starts with a short presentation on a specific topic and then is followed by a Q&A.

You may register as many sessions as you are interested in. All sessions are listed in Michigan's time zone: Eastern Daylight Time.
