Sessions
Every year we rely on volunteers to provide informative sessions on topics pertinent to the ISLC participants. Due to the increasing numbers of registrants, in 2007 and 2008 we nearly doubled the number of sessions offered to make something available to everyone. According to the evaluations we received, the sessions were a big hit and we owe a big thanks to all those who made it possible!
We would love to have many presenters from different schools. Therefore, for the 2009 conference we encourage you to consider presenting a session in an area such as cross-cultural communication, conflict resolution techniques, leadership styles, diversity training, employment resources for international students, information about historical leaders, or other areas of interest to international students. Please complete the online Session Proposal Form. In order to assist you in thinking about the types of programs you might offer, we encourage you to consider the following broad categories: Wellness, Skills and Knowledge Improvement, Identity, Communication.
