This week, the office of International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) and the International Student Association (ISA) join NAFSA-Association of International Educators, the Forum on Education Abroad, and the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA) in celebrating International Education Week. Historically a joint effort of the U.S. Departments of State and Education, International Education Week has for 25 years provided institutions in the US an opportunity to showcase the people, places, and power of global connections among its students, faculty, and staff. The ISA has organized displays of cultural artifacts from across the global in Bockman Hall 116 under the banner “Celebrating Unity in Diversity.” The following countries are represented: Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Suriname, Tanzania, and the United States of America. Cultural Artifacts may include traditional clothing, cultural symbols, artwork and crafts, photos and stories, and traditional instruments.

On Thursday, November 20, the Admission’s Office is hosting our monthly campus visit day. Please feel free to say hello and introduce yourself to potential students you see on campus.

We gather at 11:00 a.m. CT in the OCC Meditation Chapel and on Zoom (link in email) for contemplative practice of your choice—mindful sketching, centering prayer, or however you choose to engage silence. Facilitated by Dean of the Chapel Steve Thomason, we read the text and then practice in silence for 15 minutes. Afterward, you are welcome to sit in fellowship or go about your day.
Share your prayer requests.
