Join International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner! Thanksgiving is a time to come together in gratitude, share a meal, and reflect on the people and moments we’re thankful for.
Also referred to as “Friendsgiving”, this program is a celebration of friendship and community that brings people together from near and far. Enjoy delicious food, great company, and the spirit of togetherness that makes this holiday so special!
This program is open to all international students, scholars, and families within the ISSO community. ISSO staff will travel together to the CUIMC campus from ISSO Armstrong Hall for anyone who is unfamiliar with the uptown campus. Participants are expected to join for the entire program:
