Summary Sentence: This session is recommended for students who are in the U.S. for the first time.

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

If this is your first time in the United States, or possibly, or your first time outside your home country, come to this session for an introduction to culture and adjustment, tips on how to cope with culture shock, and stories from returning GT international students. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to a student panel composed of returning international students.  The session will include a fun and informative video about U.S culture and cultural misunderstandings that may arise due to differences in cultural norms around the world.
