Be a part of the Global Gopher Experience series to start your UMN journey off in the best way possible!
During our series with Global Gopher Experiences, you will learn how to succeed academically at the University of Minnesota and how to prepare for a career after graduation. Most of all, we hope to welcome you to the University of Minnesota and the international community.
Why should you join us? Students say Global Gopher Experiences was where they met their best friends and started their adventure at the U!
This is a special opportunity for new international students to prepare for classes, make new friends, and discover all of the amazing services the University offers with advice from international student leaders.
Winter Break Social Hours
Will you be arriving at the University of Minnesota over winter break and looking to make new friends? Or are you a current student staying near campus in December and January? Join us for Winter Break Social Hours!
NOTE: All Global Gopher Experiences are optional, and they are separate from (and do not replace) any of your orientation requirements including Welcome Week or Freshman/Transfer Orientation. All new international students are encouraged (but not required) to participate in Global Gopher Experiences.
