Programs & Events

Every semester, the International Students and Scholars Center (ISSC) organizes programs and events specifically designed for sponsored students to provide holistic support so that students may have a positive experience while attending Arizona State University. We encourage all students to take advantage of these opportunities. If you have any questions about our programs or have ideas on how we can improve your student experience, please contact us at sponsored@asu.edu.

Success-building mini workshops

All our events for spring 2021 will be presented to you through the MENA Student Connect - Mojtama Network, which can be accessed through an ASU Canvas platform. These presentations were recorded during the fall semester. To adapt with the current situation of COVID-19, we have decided to launch a virtual community to provide more opportunities for engagements, more access to all workshop sessions, and more personalized to each student.

We hope that all of you will take advantage of this opportunity. Weekly announcements and opportunities for engagement will be posted and shared with you throughout the semester. You can also access the community platform at any time and anywhere.
