Dear international PS student — greetings!

I would like to invite you all to a get together on Friday the 10th. Whether you are a BA, an MA or a PhD candidate; whether you are a first year student, or a seasoned ABD, new in the US, or an immigrant for a while, as long as you are an international student come meet your peers and share your experiences, puzzlements, questions, or simply your stories. This gathering will not be an official “orientation,” nor another “official welcome” — but simply an occasion for us all to assemble informally.  So… let’s get together, and just find an occasion to share ideas, stories  and know each other a bit better. Or, to paraphrase David Bowie, lets share the joy of “believing the strangest things, loving the alien”. 

We will meet iat WSP on Friday Sept. 10th, from 12 PM to 1:30 PM.

RSVP is required!!
