Health, Safety and Security Workshop for Israeli Partners

February 4th – 5th, 2020

International students often experience cultural, social, psychological and academic adjustment issues in a new environment and a new culture, away from family, friends and familiar surroundings. As a result, they may feel lost, lonely and pressured. HEI’s promoting international student programs need to be able to provide appropriate services.
