Cultural and Social Events
Please check back often as the list of events highlighted below will continue to be updated and expanded upon throughout the Winter semester!
- 60 Minutes Around the Globe: 60 Minutes Around the World is a monthly event in which international students present information about their home countries! The topics vary based on presenter preference, but may include information about food, music, sports, politics, religions, etc. The presentations are intended to be informal and are followed by a question and answer session. This is a great opportunity to learn more about another part of the world and - if you're going to be traveling to one of the countries being presented on - it's a great way to "know before you go." More information about the Winter term series is coming soon!
- International Coffee Hour: International Coffee Hour is a great place to meet members of the U-M community from all around the world! This informal social event is open to all. While walk-ins are welcome at the event, early registration is appreciated to help us prepare for the event! More information will be available soon.
- January International Coffee Hour: Wednesday, January 23, 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
