Did you know we have an "International Student Resource Room" in 203 Robo?

Since 2008, Dartmouth international students have had access to Room 203 in Robinson Hall ("Robo")- a room available for international students to meet, study, or just hang out.  ISA uses it for weekly open meetings every Friday at 5pm during the academic term. You are most welcome to attend! 

Did you know about Robo 203?  If you did not, I urge you to take advantage of this facility.  Please share your thoughts on how we can decorate and equip the room to make it more welcoming and usable.  Also, what ideas might you have to take advantage of this space designated for Dartmouth international students?

International Student Interim Luncheon Wednesday, March 21st!

Hungry for good company and a good meal during the interim?  If so, OPAL-ISP through the great work of interim interns and Amarna residents, is sponsoring a luncheon on Wednesday, March 21st (tomorrow!) at 1:00pm in Amarna.  If you don't know where Amarna is located, it's at 23 East Wheelock Street across from KKG.  Bring your appetite and your own forks!  We need several volunteers to help clean up as well!
