Navigating Life in the U.S. without Losing Your Cultural Values
Succeeding at Emory and in the U.S. is not always an easy process when you come from a different cultural background and experience. Sometimes students feel that they need to "integrate" or accept American cultural norms to be successful, but in turn sacrifice some of their culture and values. Please join us for this panel of international students and alumni to discuss this important topic and learn from each other!
