Biography

Everyone in Global Engagement at CBU were very kind and welcoming.

Their kindness was part of what motivated me to apply to be an ISSS intern during my junior and senior year.

Skills

There is a lot I learned in classes that helped me in my job and even in graduate school, but those are technical things specific to my major.

They helped develop the soft skills that have helped me network and build relations in my career. 

Return on Investment

Why would you recommend CBU to other international students?
