Global Gopher Caucuses

The University of Minnesota is committed to providing you with a safe space to be successful. International Student and Scholar Services supports all students and particularly those with traditionally marginalized identities. We will not tolerate any misconduct, discrimination, or harassment based on your identities.

We all know how important it is to connect with folks with similar identities as these connections are crucial to ensure your success at the University of Minnesota. That is why ISSS has created the Global Gopher Caucuses, student-led spaces where you can navigate the complexities of your international identities within the U.S. framework and context. For students with marginalized identities, these caucuses are spaces to talk about your experiences, get support, and share information.

The following groups open up during Global Gopher Events and may continue throughout the semester:

All international students (undergraduate, graduate/professional, and non-degree) are welcome to join the group where they identify.

In addition to joining these groups and ISSS's other programs, we encourage you to go to Gopher Link to learn about the 1,000+ student groups at the University of Minnesota!
