It's such a pleasure to attend the International Student Welcome and Information Fair at the start of each semester. It provides an opportunity for new and returning students, as well as campus partners, to exchange resources and plan for the semester ahead. On Wisconsin!

Congratulations to all the graduates who braved the cold today to attend winter commencement, including student speaker Jeeva Premkumar who served on the International Student Services Advisory Board and is now a proud College of Engineering alum!
