This Wednesday, September 20 from 6pm to 7pm M-Pals - a student-run mentorship org for international students - is holding its unprecedented Personal Safety Orientation seminar in the Forum Hall at Palmer Commons. Candace Dorsey, who has a long-standing relationship with the Division of Public Safety and Security, will be leading the session, and she has created the 1-hour program on request specifically with international students in mind.

By the end of the workshop, we hope that everyone feels like they have a better idea of what to expect and look out for in order to keep themselves safe after moving to the US and not knowing yet in what ways the country varies from their place of origin.

The event is open to all, and M-Pals hopes that everyone who wants can attend to make use of this opportunity and feel more reassured in their experience of studying abroad.
