What is International Student Stories?
International Student Stories is a series for new and current international students to learn and connect with others remotely. Each month ISS welcomes an upper-year student to share their experiences adapting to life at ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, and in Calgary and Canada. We gain their insights through a brief interview with an ISS team member. You’ll have a chance to submit questions in advance or during the event.
Series events are posted through the ISS events page. If you can't attend the live event, an audio version will be available on the ISS website for future listening.
