Join the ISS Student Success Advisor and the ISS Academic Success Student Advocates for free pie as we cover the topic of conducting presentations and what it means to participate in a US university classroom. It can be nerve-racking to speak up in class or present information to a group of people, so this is an opportunity to learn how to do both! It's also an excellent opportunity to make some new friends and meet the ISS Student Success Advisor and the amazing ISS Academic Success Student Advocates who are here to support you!
