International students are a significant part of the UMN community. We recognize that international students often face unique challenges. These bi-weekly meetings offer a supportive and safe space on Zoom for international students to discuss specific topics relevant to mental health (adjustment/transition, academic stress, relationship issues, work-life balance, etc.), share your own experiences, and develop practical skills to cope with challenges.
Virtual meetings are held
bi-weekly via Zoom on
Fridays from
11:00-12:15 pm.
