Kearney International Center

As a graduate assistant in this office I assisted international student organizations in the planning and execution of cultural events designed to showcase their culture for the greater Mankato community. I also provided direct support services to international students. Working directly with international students was my favorite aspect of this job. I always found it fascinating to learn about the reasons that they came to America, their perceptions of our culture, and the culture that they came from. This is an experience which I believe will help me work with a diverse set of clients as a counselor.
