This is a special kind of workshop being offered by OIS specifically for international students and scholars.

"Going Home: An Interactive Cultural Reentry Workshop"

Laurie Cox, Associate Director, Office of International Services, is offering workshops designed to help prepare international students/scholars for their return home and life after USC.

We will focus on preparing you for :

• pre-departure preparation
• avoiding reverse culture shock
• developing strategies for cultural transition once you are home
• preparing for a career search in your home country

“I have just completed your reverse cultural shock survey and would like to thank you for offering the workshops, I think by attending it I have been saved some of the pain of reentry. I would thoroughly recommend that this workshop be provided forever at USC and other universities. I would also thoroughly recommend living/working in another country to anyone brave enough, as a great way to find out more about themselves (as I have) and about living in a different culture. I now have many fond memories of living in the USA! and know what I like (& dislike) about (my home country).”
