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 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 2008 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, or other areas of interest to international students. Please complete the online Session Proposal Form. We invite proposals in any of the following categories: Wellness, Skills, Identity and Communication.
