Tea Social
international students representing 6 continents and 18 countries.
When:
Friday, November 9, 2012
5:00pm - 7:00pm
Where:
Unit 1 Residence Hall, All Purpose Room
Details:
There will be three phases in this event:
Phase I - Attendees will grab some snacks, and tea while watching cool/funny/entertaining youtube clips that represent various countries.
Phase II - Popular songs from each of the represented countries will be playing in the background during this phase. Students will move from station to station spending no longer than 5-7minutes at each station. Each station represents a country and will consist of 1 international student and 1 study abroad alum. Station ambassadors will highlight the perks of living and studying in their country.
Phase III - All attendees will be encourage to grab some more snacks/tea and mingle. This will be a good time for prospective EAP students to hold more elaborate conversations with international students and ambassadors from countries that most interest them.
BSA Peer Advisers, an EAP Advisor and potentially a financial aid counselor will be in attendance and ready to answer any questions that you may have about logistics or the application process.
Why:
Hearing from the locals of the countries that you are considering as well
as from Cal students who have studied in those countries will give you
more insight, hence making the selection process easier and getting you
more excited about your decision.
This will also be a great networking opportunity for everyone.
International students will be able to meet and engage current Berkeley
students. Americans can potentially tap into an international students
network in their home country, and study abroad alumni can meet more
internationals and keep their international experience alive.
If you are an international student or study abroad alum who is interested
in participating in this event, please RSVP on the facebook event and
