We are greatly disappointed that we are not able to host the annual ISSS Graduation and End of the Year International Student Celebration this year. We are, however, planning a virtual recognition opportunity to coincide with the University of Minnesota System-Wide Virtual Commencement Ceremony occurring on May 16.

To celebrate the achievements of all international students, ISSS is also arranging virtual celebration with remarks and congratulations from Meredith McQuaid (Associate Vice President and Dean of International Program), Barbara Kappler (Assistant Dean for International Student and Scholar Services), several graduating students, alumni from all around the world, and the ISSS staff.

We want to see what you are doing to celebrate—wherever you are in the world. Please post your photos on Instagram with the hashtags #HailtoThee2020 and #UMNGlobalGrad so we can share them on our website!
