Programs for
International Students & Scholars
Tea & Talk
Tea and Talk is an informal discussion group for new and continuing international students. The Office of International Student & Scholar Services (OISSS) understands that international students experience many transitions when arriving in the United States, a new language (for some), a new city, a new culture, new expectations in the classroom, and distance from family and friends.
Tea and Talk gives you the opportunity to meet other international students who are experiencing similar transitions and talk with staff members and students who can answer your questions about American culture and living in Florida.
And you don’t have to drink tea to participate and have fun! Feel free to bring your own lunch—drinks & light refreshments will be offered.
Thursdays, 12:30 - 1:30pm Carnegie Hall, 2nd Floor
OPT Workshops
