Feedback from the panels and group exercise are now available online here.
The Student Life Professional Development Committee (PDC) hosted the March workshop, "Ethnic and Cultural Students' Adjustment to College."
This workshop focused on exploring the challenges faced by students from different ethnic and cultural groups, what other universities are doing to help with adjustment challenges, and what NEIU Student Life is currently doing and could plan to do in the future. The workshop included a panel of past and present NEIU students who identify with specific ethnic/cultural groups.
