SUMMARY:International Student Essay Contest
DESCRIPTION:
 The goal of MSU's International Student Essay 
 Contest is to build greater cross-cultural understanding 
 and to learn from the experiences 
 of international students. Living outside one's 
 own culture can trigger a complex range of 
 feelings that lead to powerful insights. This 
 essay contest is an opportunity for international 
 students to reflect on their experiences 
 and share their stories as international 
 students at MSU.\n
