International Student Services not only offers a range of assistance to foreign students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but it also works to bring international and American students together through a variety of programs, says director Laurie Cox.
The BRIDGE Program, for instance, is designed to help new international students connect with U.S. students. And through the International Reach program, international students give short presentations about their home countries and culture at such venues as elementary schools and local senior centers.
â??In that way, weâ??re not just internationalizing the campus, but the community as well,â? says Cox.
