That’s why, for Toros from outside the U.S., finding community on campus is one of the most important aspects of their student experience. During November’s International Education Week, a joint State Department and Department of Education initiative which celebrates the benefits of international exchange, the CSUDH Office of International Education (OIE) hosted a series of events to foster that cross-cultural exchange and sense of ...
